The idea that schizophrenia is a bad case of the nerves is closer to reality than some of the other myths because many people with this illness suffer from terrible anxiety, either as a primary symptom, or secondary to the other perceptual events they are experiencing (hearing voices, paranoia, etc.). Unfortunately, rest at a lovely spa somewhere will not cure this complex illness.
Founded in January 2009, the Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health is part of the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Addressing quality of care and workforce development issues in North Carolina's mental health system, the Center and its clinical programs are supported by a three-year grant from The Duke Endowment, as well as Cross Area Services Program (CASP)
funds. The program operates in conjunction with multiple university, state, and community-based partners.
