Please see the attached for a great lecture opportunity.

April 22: Free NAMI Lecture:
Early Onset Schizophrenia, a Personal Journey to Recovery and Beyond.
Speaker: Brandon W. Fitch

Early onset schizophrenia is unusual. In most cases schizophrenia first manifests itself in one's late teens or early twenties. Brandon's symptoms plagued him from early childhood well into adulthood as he and his mom searched for a treatment that would work. Finally, he was given the then new medication clozapine. It worked and Brandon eventually became a poster boy for that medication. Featured in an article in Time Magazine, he gave a keynote speech to a standing ovation at a NAMI National Convention. He is the Program Annotator for the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra and author of a new book, Living with the Romanovs: A young Man's Struggle with Psychosis. Mr. Fitch will discuss his long struggle with, recovery from, and life after the torments of schizophrenia. For a preview of this presentation, hear his NAMI Athens WOUB Radio interview go to http://namiathensohio.org/radio-program/schizophrenia-and-schizoaffective-disorder/
