Schizophrenia, Abilify, Bipolar, Depression, Mental Illness
Hello I am a young African American female who is diagnosed with schizophrenia. Recently, I discovered that I had schizophrenia through an unfortunate experience that landed me five months in jail and three months in the hospital. Now I am a recovering schizophrenic through medication and therapy. I am taking a medication called abilify. I read books on the illness, keep a journal, and attend groups. I enjoy: running cross country, listening to music, exercising, and going to the movies. I reside in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
