Schizophrenia Experiences and Suggestions?

Posted by Cliff on Friday May 21, 2004 @04:09AM 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?"

Prayer isn't really a form of medicine, it's asking a deity to do something for you.

Trying telling most people that prayer is merely a synonym for meditation and you'd be laughed at. Don't redefine terms to fit your biases and needs, and expect me to follow them.
