Re: that article - Wow. Just...wow. Who wrote that? Are there really people out there who don't think gaining a little extra weight is a reasonable price to pay from freedom from schizophrenia? Do these people know what psychosis is like? Jesus. And whoever mentioned that bit about the kid who was infatuated with her makes a good point - the degree to which this girl was objectified, by her fucking doctors even, is really disturbing. Girls are for looking at, not for having healthy inner lives, apparently. Maybe that's why she was crazy - because everyone around her insisted on treating her like a thing, not a person. I'd be happy to get fat under those circumstances, too.
