With respect to learning more about schizophrenia, I recommend two things.
First, if there is a local NAMI chapter near you, I recommend that you sign up for a course they offer designed speciffically for the family members and friends of individuals that have a mental illness. It's called Family to Family. You can locate the local NAMI chapter nearst to you by signing on to www.NAMI.org.
Second I recommend that you read Surviving Schizophrenia: A Manual for Families, Consumers, and Providers by E. Fuller Torrey, M.D, I think you can get the book through the NAMI online book store, and if not there, then at Amazon.com.
As far as your concern regarding the possibility of your husband endangering (not only his own health, but) your health by sexual incounters with others, I recommend that you protect yourself first and foremost.
Please contact us again if you any additional questions.
