Schizophrenia: Heather

Mother struggles with putting her daughter in a state psychiatric hospital because she has schizophrenia. Heather shows disordered unorganized thoughts in her conversations. The odd facial expressions she displays when she speaks is a side effect of the antipsychotic medication she is on. While some antipsychotic meds do not produce such side effects, not all schizophrenics respond well to such medication.
