Take Medications
Medication is so very vital when dealing with schizophrenia. From the experiences of my father, I can see the effect that it has on his personality. Schizophrenia is a brain disease. There is a chemical imbalance and there is no need for one to be ashamed. Sure, most certainly, the medication has side effects, however you must let your doctor know what they are. You need the medication, even if you have to change it. The key element is to take your medication seriously. Even if you should have to change the medication, let is be so. The symptoms of schizophrenia will return if you do not take the needed medication. Does a diabetic need insulin? Well, you need medication. You will begin to hear voices, become parnoid of others around you, it can be very crippling. When you or a loved one is diagnosed with schizophrenia, you must believe that you have it because a psychiatrist is a doctor. Sure, they make mistakes, however, make sure that you visit your psychiatrist for the medication, attend therapy sessions as well, keep healthy and active, keep up with the latest updates concerning this cripling disease. Always remember, if you feel like you are suicidal, go to the nearest hospital or local crisis center. You can and will cope. Until next time, take care of you and and strive to take one day at a time. (a daughter)

Thank you for sharing your story.
I'm thinking of starting a blog but not sure what I would write about. My daughter has sz and I think of her almost 24/7. I hardly recognize her anymore. She's so different now. I wish there was more I could do to help her but I can't. She has to want to help herself and I tell myself that 24/7 as well. It's a constant struggle to know how much to do and not do.
I understand your struggle. My father also had a mentall illness. He died about 33 years ago when I was 21. I think of him often and miss him very much. I wish I could tell him now that I understand. I didn't understand him when he was alive. I didn't understand his illness. I only knew he was suffering so when he died I was relieved. I knew his suffering was over, but I still miss him so much.
