What Are the Best Tips for Living With Schizophrenia?
Living with schizophrenia is not pleasant — it is decidedly not easy to live with any form of mental illness, especially when the burden of side effects from successful treatment is so profound for some people. There are some tips that can help make this condition survivable and easier to cope with. These principally concern having good and trustworthy psychiatric and therapeutic care, learning how to recognize early signs of problems, and learning about how the disease works and how it is expressed personally. Schizophrenia is a medical condition that is no one’s fault. Those living with schizophrenia may feel worse if they think they somehow are responsible or weak for having symptoms. Learning to shed this stigma can be very difficult, and it’s principally where therapeutic help comes in.
