“Others, however, were incapable of adhering to their medications on their own or of living independently; thus, a drug that was so helpful to so many ironically played a significant role in the disaster that was deinstitutionalization.”

“Generally, the best way to determine the relative benefit of drugs is through comparative effectiveness studies, in which all drugs, or a representative selection, are compared. In the United States, the nonprofit Consumer Reports is dedicated to such unbiased testing of consumer products, but no equivalent exists for medicines. After a drug is approved by the FDA, there is no process for tracking how it stacks up against other medications currently in use." ― Jeff Lieberman, Malady of the Mind: Schizophrenia and the Path to Prevention”

“are we more caring of vulnerable older adults than we are of the young? What would we think of ourselves as a society if our streets and prisons were filled with old people suffering the terrors and indignities of untreated dementia? It may be that we see it as a question of effective treatments, which is ironic, as there are no truly effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, but there are for schizophrenia.”
