Speak Out, Support Your Peers--Wed. Jan. 20th

Fulton County mental health centers are debating to discontinue offering services to people living with a mental health diagnosis, who do not have health insurance. This is an outrage!

When I first moved back to Atlanta I did not have health insurance, however, the center assisted me with group therapy and enabled me to participate in a program to help me get my medicine. I am very thankful for the Abilify Assistance Program. How many other people are in the same predicament?

There will be an open forum on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 (tomorrow) at 10 AM in the Fulton County Government Center Assembly Hall, 141 Pryor Street SW, Atlanta, Georgia. This meeting is open to the public.

People like you and I can attend the meeting and share views on the matter. I will definitely be there to support peers in need and to comment on the situation. If the County discontinues providing needed services such as therapy and medication for people without health insurance we are in trouble!

For more information you may contact the Office of the Clerk to the Commission, (404) 612-8200 or visit the Fulton County website at www.fultoncountyga.gov. If you live in the Atlanta area, please support this meeting!

Here is a link to more information about the genetics of Schizophrenia that was prepared by our genetic counselor and which has links to some useful resources for those dealing with this condition: http://www.accessdna.com/condition/Schizophrenia/336. There is also a phone number listed if you need to speak to a genetic counselor by phone. I hope it helps. Thanks, AccessDNA

Religious Preoccupation

After a talk, a woman asked me if my faith contributed to my recovery because she noticed that I mentioned it throughout my speech. In addition to that, she told me that she observed people with faith as having a better outcome in their mental health recovery. First, I came from a family with Christian values. My faith in God started to get intense during the latter years of high school, which in my opinion, is when I started having symptoms. In my experience religion plays a major role in my mental health- its delusions, its coping skills, and in my recovery. In medical terms they call my religious rituals and delusions "religious preoccupation." Before I was diagnosed I was highly religious. In fact, I wanted to be an evangelist and to go to a Christian college. I would read my Bible for several hours a day throughout the day, listen to hymns, and meditate. Sometimes I would ignore people if they wanted my attention while I was meditating I was in such deep thought. Also, I...

What Is Remission?

Remission is the absence of symptoms for at least six months with the support of medication. In other words, a doctor who has never seen you before may not diagnose you as a person with schizophrenia anymore. Remission is also high functioning in several aspects of life, living independently, goinig to school or to work, and socializing with other people. However, this does not mean the patient is cured or the illness has went away, the illness is still present, however, under control. Remission is achieved with the assistance of medication. "Published studies suggest that 10% to 20% of people with schizophrenia have remission of their illness as they get older, 20% get worse, but in a large majority (60% to 70%), the course of illness remains relatively unchanged." To reach remission it is recommended that you aim for a stress-free environment. Therefore, do things to relieve stress such as journaling, exercising, talking to friends, listening to or creating music, making a...

The Path that God Chose for Me

I am not upset that I have schizophrenia, this is the life God chose for me. The other day I was telling my mother I am glad I took a break from school, but I wish I had taken it sooner so that I could have recognized my illness sooner. She reminded me that everything happens for a reason, and that had I took a break sooner I would not have been able to know my full potential in college and in life. I went to college and got really involved in it through sports, internships, and mentoring peers. I was involved in so many things, school, church, home, friends, family, you name it! She was right, I am glad I took the path I took. I did not always have schizophrenia, but now that I have it I will work hard to overcome it. I try not to use the word schizophrenic because that identifies the person by their illness and that isn't fair. I am Ashley and I have schizophrenia. I will not let it limit my potential or define who I am. I can and will overcome these symptoms with medication, the...
