Yes - a good book. Ken used to visit the site here a number of years ago, he was a nice guy and was doing really well after a long struggle. Sadly he passed away a few years ago.

@SzAdmin - I just noticed that he said he was on sz.com Passed in 2000 - heart failure. It was so sad how his parents turned their back on him.

@SzAdmin Yup - page 227 (Hardback) He says:

“Soon I was invited to write for several family and consumer websites, and I became a featured contributor to the schizophrenia home page (schizophrenia.com), where I posted my willingness to speak before groups”.

I believe early or mid-90s

How long has schizophrenia.com been up?

Schizophrenia.com was started in 1995. The founder lost his brother to schizophrenia and suicide that year.
