If not SHUT UP. Dear Ann Landers: A pox on Kent C. of Dallas for his letter on elevator efficiency. My company, like his, has 13 floors and eight elevators. The K.C.'s who are in a hurry have bogged down the entire system. It can take you a half hour to get an elevator some days. How? Well, first there's the idiot on the first floor who wants to go to the basement, but will ride the "up" elevator to the 11th floor and back down again, just to make sure he gets on. Meanwhile, those who need to go up can't, because the elevator cars are full of "down" people going up, or up people going down. Then there's the hyperactive clod. I encountered one in an elevator last week. At every stop she quickly pushed the "close door" button before the elevator door was even open. The door slammed shut on several people who didn't run fast enough to make it. She almost prevented me from getting out. K.C. also is wrong in suggesting that holding one elevator for a few seconds will slow down all the others. (It won't; they operate independently.) His "hurry-up- " philosophy is not the answer, it's the problem. Common sense and courtesy is the solution. C.M.G.H.

She further stated that schizophrenics cannot perceive the difference between fantasy and reality, and counseling is of no value Since you are considered a leader in the field of mental health, will you please answer these questions? ill Is there a known cause for schizophrenia1 2 What is the best treatment? i3i Where is the most promising research being done? 4) Since depression and schizophrenia appear to have simiiar components, is it possible that the diagnosis could be confused'' 1 Mother beg you to respond. Of One In S C. Dear Mother: I consulted with an eminent authority who provided these answers. He is Dr. Frederick Goodwin, Scientific Director of the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md. (1) There is no single known cause of schizophrenia. Genetic factors have been identified in some forms of the illness. Other likely contributing factors include chemical toxicity, psychological trauma, physical trauma or a combination of one or more of the above. (2) Because there are different types of schizophrenia, one cannot say which treatment is best without knowing the patient. The techniques widely used are drug therapy, psychotherapy, occupational therapy and, rarely, shock treatment. Acupuncture has some advocates but this approach is not widely respected. (3) The National Institutes of Menta! Health provide most of the funding for research in the United States. The work is being done in major universities and medical schools and in the Institutes' own research program in Bethesda and St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C. (4) Depression is indeed a frequent factor in schizophrenia and some manic depressives are misdiagnosed. These diagnostic errors can be cleared up by a competent specialist.
