"Schizophrenia has a more benign course and outcome in the developing world. The best data come from India. In the study that established the difference, researchers looking at people two years after they first showed up at a hospital for care found that they scored significantly better on most outcome measures than a comparable group in the West. They had fewer symptoms, took less medication, and were more likely to be employed and married. The results were dissected, reanalyzed, then replicated—not in a tranquil Hindu village, but in the chaotic urban tangle of modern Chennai. No one really knows why Indian patients did so well, but increasingly, psychiatric scientists are willing to attribute the better outcomes to social factors. For one thing, families are far more involved in the ill person’s care in India. They come to all the appointments, manage the medications, and allow the patients to live with them indefinitely. Compared to Europeans and Americans, they yell at the patients less."

Was N living with M when he decided to go for a swim?

Extra credit: how did you perform?

N and M are both useless.

My performance went very well. Cannot tell you how much i enjoyed dancing accompanied by the most amazing orchestra. HUGE difference from my show in NJ. I was the strongest performing in NJ but i was the weakest in the chennai show:-)

SEriously, i realized that only mediocre talent ends up touring the US. i am desperately trying to get these people here in 2013. Wish me luck! there is a huge event planned for sept, yet another fund raiser.
