patients per Archives of General Psychiatry & 3/2/2004 Wall St Journal Illness is gradual & in initial weeks/months a person may still be aware that delusional thinking or hallucinations are in fact not real; that ability to distinguish is often lost as the untreated illness progresses, per Thomas McGlashan Yale University School of Medicine psychiatrist. Editor R McGough notes that typical onset age is early 20's for men and mid-late 20's for women. Symptoms: Psychotic or "positive" symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking. "Negative" symptoms include social withdrawal, extreme apathy, blunted emotional expression. www.wsj.com |

http://www.horseboyfoundation.org/horseboystory.html "In 2007 Rowan, his dad, & mother (Kristin Neff, a psychology professor at the Universityof Texas) took a journey across Mongolia on horseback, going from traditional healer to traditional healer, shaman to shaman, looking for healing. They went out with a child still tantrumming, still un-toilet trained, & cut off from other children. They came back with a child no longer tantrumming, toilet trained & able to make friends." DANGER - Not so much about horses as about shamanism & Buddhism. BEWARE. Family does now have horse riding program for the disabled in Texas, USA. |
