Hello madeline,
I agree with Carolyn, read all the expert's SharePosts by clicking on "Connect" at the top of the page, and then click on "Meet Our Experts."
If you feel depressed, an adjunct medication that is an anti-depressant might help you in addition to the sz meds; however, you need to discuss this with your doctor, I don't treat or diagnose problems.
There is hope, Madeline.

Madeline, I think if you look back at the posts of our "Experts" you will find all kinds of coping skills addressed. Everything from returning to work tips to recovery tools. You list "depression, sadness" in your question categories. These often accompany schizophrenia. Are you seeing a psychiatrist? Does she have you on medication? That is certainly a good place to start. And sometimes it takes a trial of several medications before you and your doctor find the right one(s). If you would like to write to my email address and ask a specific question, I would be more than willing to respond. I am 50 and was diagnosed with depression at 16 and schizophrenia at 37.
