MYM – Why do people stop taking medication?
Manage episode 413947881 series 2974804
The killing of six people by 40-year-old Joel Cauchi at Bondi Junction horrified the nation. Cauchi started taking medication for schizophrenia aged 17, but at some point stopped. Why do people stop taking medication that can help them control and recover from mental illness? When someone with a serious mental health condition loses contact with the health system, how can the health system be more active in trying to re-establish contact?
