*Re-reading the Times article of 16/12/85,** I highlighted many of the symptoms chosen as examples; key words and phrases highlighted include:

***

'...Mostly in their late teens and early twenties....'

'…disintegrate....'

'...disturbed perceptions can turn them against members of the family who are closest to them...'

'...periods of mental distress so painful that sufferer s are unable to carry on normal lives. The feel invaded by strange and terrifying experiences which distort the way they see the world and prevent them relating to people. They withdraw and become emotionally cold and isolated. They feel their whole personalities disintegrate and lose their ability to concentrate or work.'

'Schizophrenia seems to come in cycles.'

'The more bizarre symptoms experienced by schizophrenics are hallucinations and delusions – patently false ideas which are held with total conviction. ****One person thinks he is Jesus Christ, another that she is an aunt of the Queen#. Those suffering from a more paranoid type of schizophrenia believe people are trying to kill them.'
