My son was diagnosed with Schizophrenia at only age 16. It's been so difficult. I really appreciate this movie, and that you shared your perspective. It's nice to get some hopeful stories.

I am French and brought my son to Shawano WI like Canada. My son has grades high in Chem and Calculus at academy. He takes Rexulti 4mg . We needed this to get us through the hospitals. Bon Soir!

Any updates on Quentin? Hope he is well. My son would not stay on his meds consistently and he had bad side effects.

What an inspiration! Thank you for giving hope to those who are suffering and for helping to demystify/destigmatize the illness. Merci!

Schizophrenia runs in the family. His parents don’t look like they have it, but if you look far back enough, someone in the family for sure had it.

Thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask the medication that is working for you? One of our problems is that my son is allergic to antipsychotics. We have been struggling to find the right match. It’s been a long 4 year struggle. The family and friend support is there.

This was a beautiful mini doc. As a person who takes medication it pisses me off when you refill your medication and you get hit with a "ooh sorry we are out of the medication today (Thursday) and we will not have the medicine back in stock until late Monday or early Tuesday." Gee thanks for forcing me to not have my medication for four plus days.
