Where is the balance? Where do these people fit in what we call a functional society? The key is finding a balance between keeping the positive invisible and silencing the dangerous invisible. Then what about free will? Allow dangerous invisible, with the end result of incarceration? Allow functional invisible aids with a sheltered environment? How do we plan for the decline in cognition, physical function, and decision making that comes arm and arm with schizophrenia. If we totally silence the inadvisable with drugs how do we justify the side effects? The mental blankness and loss of ones own personality. When does long term us of drugs justify the physical changes that are not reversible ? What is right to do? I saw the institutional life and I have seen the drug treated life. After having seen the transition from institution based care to current drug treated community placement and all that lies between. Where is the balance ? What harm have we caused along the way? Does the love, laughter, listening ears, accepting the reality of invisables and caring touch given over the years compensate for the mistakes made? Only God knows. So So true. Where is the balance?
