&gt;  I wouldn&#x27;t even initiate due diligence unless you had already convinced a couple doctors or researchers from respected hospitals or universities that your company could succeed.<p>There is much inertia in maintaining the status quo. What you say here about &#x27;convincing doctors or researchers&#x27; is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. It&#x27;s being worked on by a Psychologist (PhD)  I know and his colleagues, but the progress is glacial.<p>Soon after my girlfriend got siphoned off into that world where the patients never get better (court-ordered treatment), I emailed the president of an organization of changework professionals whom I&#x27;d had a session with months before. His organization is on the fringe of acceptability to the broader sphere of conventionally-practicing psychologists and psychiatrists. I wanted to draw attention to the plight of people who get stuck in the care of people who think they&#x27;re more competent than they really are. He wrote back to tell me that &quot;the missionaries get eaten by the cannibals,&quot; which I thought was a good point.<p>Now we&#x27;re at the point where I can join the hecklers, and also share my insights. It&#x27;s been about 6 weeks since her last discharge. The injected Aripiprazole (brand name: &quot;Abilify&quot;, which is sold as an &quot;anti-psychotic&quot;) wore off 2 weeks ago. She is now unmedicated and hasn&#x27;t slipped back into psychosis like the professionals were sure would happen if she didn&#x27;t take their brain-shrinking drugs. Last week she was hired for a real job, and started training today. It&#x27;s a low-skill position, but it&#x27;s just right for her at this time.<p>There is a regular stream of submissions on HN about mental health, so I know there&#x27;s interest. I have an idea...<p>Thanks again!
