Suspect.
But seriously, doesn't look like any kid with schizophrenia I've ever come across. The few kids I've ever seen with true early onset schizophrenia were terrifying. They were like little aliens from an alternate universe. The little girl on Oprah just looks like a little brat who has had some bizarre behaviors enforced all her life.
I think the kid definitely has something wrong, but the biggest issue there is a crazy parent/kid behavior milieu.
Parents look waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy to happy to be on TV.
On youtube you can find a different video of her from the LA Times where she snowed to hell on thorazine. She looks more schizophrenic all wacked on thorazine then she does when she is "psychotic".
Dad on Oprah keeps trying to tell the story that she is on all these hardcore meds that would snow a grown man, that he swallowed 1/2 a pill and was stumbling around stuporous, yet if you watch the youtube vid the kid is CLEARLY totally snowed. Drooling and everything.
The one thing that makes me think twice is Dr. Deantonio so sincerely talking about her.
Would like to hear your thoughts if you've seen it.
