Lifelines in Medicine: 2: Schizophrenia

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

An accountant suddenly thinks he's Napoleon... a suburban housewife gets the idea she's being bugged by the CIA... just two victims of a mental disorder that's not as rare as you think. There are more than half a million schizophrenics in Britain - that's one out of every 100 people.
In the first of three programmes, Tony van den Bergh examines the different forms and causes of schizophrenia; talks to victims and their families about its effect; and looks at the work being done to find a cure.
