Q: Is there an expert, or someone who has dealt with schizophrenia that could help me with my research

Is there an expert, or someone who has dealt with schizophrenia that could help me with my research paper? I need to give an interview. It can be over the computer, or email. I would really appreciate it.

 

I am writing a paper on Schizoprenia and it is a huge part of my grade. I was curious if anyone who deals with a schizophrenic, or is an expert in that field could help me out. I would just ask a few questions. Thank you for your time.

Hello,

 

I'm sorry, we are not "schizophrenics."  If you had asked to interview someone "who has schizophrenia" instead of asking to "interview a schizophrenic," I would be more receptive to your request.

 

When do you need to complete the paper?

 

My idea is that if I consented to be interviewed, I would only answer four or five questions and it would be via my Schizophreniia Connection e-mail, and I would need a generous deadline, say, I would return the answers to you by Friday, February 13 and I couldn't guarantee an immediate set of answers before then.

 

Please re-consider using the word "schizophrenic" in the future.

 

If you understand that "schizophrenic" is stigmatizing, I might be willing to help educate you, so e-mail me at christina.bruni1@gmail.com .

 

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Regards,

Christina
