Schizophrenia Experiences and Suggestions? 1128
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?"

"I've gotta[sic] disagree with you here." This IS slashdot... so Schizophrenia *is* more common than anything transmitted by another person... especially sexually.

In one of his crisis, thinking that he was now some kind of Dr Evil he asked a ransom of 3 billion dollars to IBM. He have a friend, who I don't know if he is a pimp or sell drugs or something but the fact is that the guy named Bill have a lot of money and gave him some 30 millions to encourage him to continue to live in is fantasy. Shame on him!
Each day he is getting more delusional and I really start to worry that he hurt himself by doing something stupid or just annoys to much people until is ass get seriously kicked.
Should we check him in a psychiatric institution?

The advice to "take your meds, take your meds," is utter and complete garbage. The only time I began to become better was when I stopped believing in meds and thrust my salvation and deliverance into the hands of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
