I started wondering, with some mental illnesses such as this, how much actual research is being done to try and find some answers to alleviate it as compared to cancer research and how would I find out ?
How much research is being done to find better ways to deal with schizophrenia ? read:?
Schizophrenia is one of the most popularly researched subjects, being right up there with depression and anxiety. I don't know how it compares to cancer, although I would suspect that it is probably very close too it. The great thing about research in schizophrenia is that it brings together psychiatrists, psychologists, and pharmaceutical companies (a large funding source- whether we like it or not, money is what funds research), and I think they have made wonderful strides in finding more effective treatments with less side effects (the older medication was often the case of the "cure being worse than the disease"). There is still a long way to go, though.
