Haiku

Peaceful, fresh Autumn.
Stop! Cease! Desist! Go away!
I am not alone.
This haiku reflects on the panic psychosis brings to previously placid patients, and the ongoing fear it brings to their lives. This week's case at Uni is Schizophrenia, and the stereotypical patient is a previously high-functioning male in their early- to mid- twenties. Moreover, as the prevalence is approximately 1%, the chances are that at least one kid from your year at school will end up with it. Rough.
