A culture of denial has set in, and the very people responsible to fix it are the ones who are going to ditch.

McGorry was tantalized by the idea that psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia have a pre-onset phase, or prodrome, during which careful intervention could prevent them from emerging—and wrecking the lives of sufferers and their loved ones. The theory wasn't McGorry's alone, but he decided to test it in a world-first trial that had psychiatry's skeptics aghast...
