      In the next couple of years, none

      In 10 years time though, hopefully we will start to see new drugs coming out based on the research that me and many others are doing. All of the drugs out there at the moment to fight schziiophrenia were basically discovered by acciedent and we’re not even sure how some of them work! As a result they don’t always work and have huge side effects. By learning about what schizophrenia actually is, we should be able to design better drugs with fewer side effects.
