I have a suggestion,Tony. Why not talk about Schizophrenia and Allergies. This has been a very bad summer for seasonal allergies. Allergies and mental illness are a bad mix because allergies and there medications reduce the effectiveness of medication for phychosis. In fact allergies make phychosis worse.

There's the added expence of allergy medication usually not covered by pharmacare.There's the added stress of more unwellness and discomfort, I'ts caused me insomia and dopey days personaly. My anxiety level go up during reactions. I have food allergys that cause more expence . I'm allergic to milk ,wheat,seafood,and peanuts.
It really complicates my life. The allergies are more out of comtrol in my life than the schizophrenia is for now.
