Among my favorites is a story about a study that found genetic risk variants for schizophrenia also promoted cannabis use (Genetic Risk for Schizophrenia, Cannabis Use Overlap 6/30/2014), which suggests our genes compel us to seek environments that are themselves risk factors for a disease. Another reported a newfound link between obsessive compulsive disorder and schizophrenia (Study Links OCD and Schizophrenia 9/9/2014), and still another covered a study that suggests reading remediation may help people with schizophrenia gain more real world function (Reading Skills Decline in Schizophrenia 9/18/2014). I also wrote about a controversial study claiming that schizophrenia can be parsed neatly into eight genetically different subtypes (Study Claiming Eight Types of Schizophrenia Called Into Question 10/3/2014).

In the past 6 months, I’ve written lots of news stories for Schizophrenia Research Forum.
