Perhaps that was too vague. That statement was in reference to the following quote:

>I've been there, and I'm sure I have much farther to go. All of the girls in my family have it, and my mother, and none of them have EVER been treated correctly. A sister of mine has HAD a hysterectomy, another one has had so many problems I couldn't even mention them all and is not only bipolar but now diagnosed schizophrenic and on so many mood altering drugs she has gained a million pounds and is puffy EVERYWHERE, and is not a real person any more, and I KNOW that if she had gotten proper treatment for this disorder years ago that never would have happened. She STILL isn't getting proper treatment for her hormones, because as soon as they lower her medication she starts slashing herself to bits. She has 3 children. What a fun life for those kids.<

This lady did not develop schizophrenia because she did not get treatment for PCOS. Many women (fewer men) develop schizophrenia each year without benefit of PCOS.

It had been widely accepted for many years that the cause of schizophrenia is an imbalance of dopamine and serotonin within the brain. This far, insulin does not seem to affect either of these.
