Yes it is good to keep up with appointments and meds etc. I always keep up with my psychiatrist/psychologist/social worker appointments, but I am not so good with medication. I often tend to either abuse it or just stop taking it completely. I cannot seem to learn that that equals relapse.

But life sentence definitely. On this documentary on TV, a psychiatrist said that schizophrenia is the mental equivalent of cancer except you don't die from it as often. So I agree with the cancer thing.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
