A young woman turns eighteen and her child psychiatrist tells her she must transition to adult services. She has been seeing this doctor for five years, through the worst of her illness. The relationship ends at an arbitrary birthday. She is referred to an adult service with a six-month waitlist, her medication running out, her support disappearing at a time when she is also navigating university and independent living. A young man with schizophrenia reaches the age cutoff for youth services just as his illness is becoming most serious.
