Interesting. One small correction though, it´s misleading what the article says that schizophrenia is a mental disorder with no treatment. I think they meant to say with no cure. There are many options for schizophrenia patients, most of the treatment options necessitating medication management as it is primarily a brain disorder, but also therapy. Many if not most people with schizophrenia can lead "normal", productive lives when under proper care of a psychiatrist and a therapist.

Quotes from the article:

 

"They injected excessive amount of agmatine into rats and observed later that they developed schizophrenia."

 

 

"Schizophrenia is characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. Some of its symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech and thinking and significant social or occupational dysfunction."

 

 

I wonder who interviewed the rats?

Or better yet, they may look for a cure for the lard-ass factor in the UK. I hear 1/3 have hit the I-can´t-fit-in-my-airplane-seat factor running for the who-has-the-lardiest-ass in the EU.

 Hehe I would love to know where you got your 1/3 statistic?!

I think you are bending the truth again .... yes there is increasing obesity in our country, but not quite in the proportion you suggest with regards to airplane seats! lol

 

Still, I guess it made YOU feel better to say it...
