Schizophrenia Experiences and Suggestions?

Posted by Cliff on from the dealing-with-an-illness-in-the-family dept.

Jagercola asks: "My sister was recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia. It's a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disease that we don't know a lot about. The movie, A Beautiful Mind, paints an accurate picture of how the disease affects someone in a best case scenario. I would like the vast audience here to help me understand the disease through experiences and that it might help me aid my sister. If you know someone how has the disease, how has it affected your and their life? How have you been able to cope with it? What are the long term implications for quality of life?"

    If you're going to say something like that grow a spine and post with your username. The poor guy is probably looking *everywhere* for advice, not just here you emotionless fuck.

    I'm married, I just had a baby boy a little over 2 months ago...

    Glad to hear that you passed the potentaly schizophrenic genes on, so the next generation can have crazy people screaming in the streets.
