Coma Therapy

"Sleep, perchance to dream."
William Shakespeare

Has anyone tried Coma therapy for Jani--6 year old schizophrenic with psychosis so severe that massive doses of '(antipsychotic) medications seem to skip over her'.

If you can't part with her for a while try three day increments.

Her Cats and Rats are probably how this 6 year old is communicating that she is having difficulty reconciling her high intelligence with her sensual (sense-u-all) side.It would be unkind to continue with adult medications that are probably doing more harm than good and certainly stay away from stuff like electro-shock therapy, that would be just plain cruel and stupid.

And we all know that you can't fix stupid.

If her psychosis is as severe as described in this LA Times article, her brain is probably speeding along faster that the speed of light and would welcome a restful induced sleep and holiday from the drug interactions that are probably ravaging her developing mind.
