CHARLIE ROSE - SCHIZOPHRENIA

BRAIN SERIES 2, EPISODE 5: SCHIZOPHRENIA

PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESS: A Brain Disorder as opposed to Neurological or Cognitive problem;

"a disorder of brain development, disorder of Cognition.......disturbance in 'working memory'..."
"... the most devasting of the psychiatric illnesses...."
"...thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors..."

This series is especially fascinating because in addition to the panel of western medicine scientists/experts/researchers, it has graphics, visualizations of the brain that are affected by schizophrenia which are contrasted to 'normal' brains. Also, the young man in the photo below has Schizophrenia and is able to articulate his experiences......
