Interesting that Dr. Amador is a caregiver of relatives with SZ and bipolar disorder. I’ve had people say I must be misdiagnosed, because my brother has bipolar disorder.

Brings home the point of SZ being heritable, considering that his brother had SZ as well which makes three close relatives.

I have relatives with SZ and BP. On different sides of my family! Or maybe the SZ came from my spouse’s side! In any event, while these are not communicable diseases, the statistics of the numbers of people with serious mental illness are like corona virus… staggering!

On this topic, I am 100% convinced that an approach using LEAP is truly wonderful in so many ways to help our loved ones.
