From your questions, it sounds like you or a loved one might have been recently diagnosed.  At times, it will seem you cannot live, you cannot make it through another day.  But hopefully, if you are like me, you will gradually find your focus needs to be on what you can do for others. Take good care of yourself in all ways possible, but be aware and responsive to the needs of others.  That is what is rewarding.

Hello Hazera,

 

Yes, people can live and thrive and be successful and lead happy, productive lives even with a diagnosis and the symptoms of schizophrenia.

 

I urge you to never give up hope, read my expert blogs, read Robin's blogs, and everyone else's blogs on this Web site.

 

Best wishes,
