Lightbulb I am sorry to hear this...

I do read Bipolar board from time to time and I do remember Karolina.

I found some interesting information about Clozaril and long QT syndrome.

It might be helpful for her to understand, if this were the problem.

It is tragic when a young person suddenly dies like this. Please pass on my
sympathies to her, Waves.

If there are other children, she may want to study the forum link I gave in more detail.
The drugs used to treat mental illness (more specifically antipsychotics), are agents that
affect QT in the heart. The doctor on that forum explains it quite well, I thought.
