Longview News Journal, May 3, 2007 LONGVIEW -- Living with schizophrenia and information about recovery will be the topics of a presentation tonight by the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Greater Longview. The event will feature Dr. Michael Fuller, who is to share his story of living with bipolar disorder, said Paula Hendrix, president of the local NAMI chapter. "Today there are more treatment options and more opportunities available for individuals with schizophrenia than there have ever been," Hendrix said. Fuller is an associate professor in the department of psychology and behavior sciences at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. He received the NAMI Exemplary Psychiatrist Award in 2006 and was selected Faculty Member of the Year by the Mu Delta honorary medical society, according to the University of Texas Medical Branch Web site. "A diagnosis of mental illness does not necessarily mean a person is no longer able to contribute to society," Hendrix said. "The purpose of this educational program is to help people understand schizophrenia, its treatment and how its treatment can lead to achieving therapeutic goals and recovery."
