“The Strangest Disease: The Peculiar Past

but Hopeful Future of Schizophrenia”

Charles F. Martin Amphitheatre

McIntyre Medical Science Building, 5th Floor (Room 504)

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

6:00 p.m.

This Lecture will explore why schizophrenia has historically been regarded as a strange disease, a perception linked to changing understandings of the brain.

This strangeness has affected how we think about schizophrenia’s causes and how we treat those afflicted. As growing research in the neurosciences has

identified schizophrenia as a disease of the brain, we are on the cusp of a new era in which science trumps strangeness, with promising possibilities for all.
