In a case where the client, a student in a professional college was severely unwell and nonfunctional for 8 years while on 10 simultaneous medications most being taken twice or thrice daily. He was unable to attend college or study due to symptoms. He would wake up at 3 or 4 am and wander in the village , knock on people's doors and get beaten up. He also would would eat gutkha several times a day. On account of all this he needed to be taken 2-3 times a month to the doctor by taxi for medication adjustments incurring significant costs on travel, medications, etc.
As the client slowly recovered with therapy, becoming increasingly functional he began studying for over 8 hours a day to try to complete his course but due to the long non attendance he had lost University permission to continue his course.
As he became increasingly functional, it was possible to gradually discontinue 7 out of 10 medications one by one. Thereafter on full recovery he began working overseas independently where he worked free of relapse for several years despite night duties and living alone. A few years later he got married and is settled and remains well .
This of course is a time consuming process taking several months, needing patience courage and perseverence on the part of patient and family to continue with therapy despite ups and downs which are inevitable in any therapy.
The client has provided a video message which can be viewed in person by any client doing therapy.
