Open Press Room

Now I’ll recommend “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” the HBO series created by the mastermind behind Seinfeld, Larry David, beyond my circle of friends and acquaintances. Knowing that this great series can help schizophrenics, I have a couple of people in mind for who I should to promote the show.

According to The New Yorker, David Roberts, a clinical-psychology student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (and most probably a fan of David), noticed that normally uncommunicative patients would laugh at shows on television. Apparently, David’s character makes the same kind of social errors schizos make, allowing therapists to use him as an the anti-role model.

No wonder, researchers are already putting “Curb” to the schizo test.
