I'm new to this forum but my son has schizophrenia and he actually does quite well although not up to his full potential. Because of stigma and the reluctance of people to talk about the illness we often do not know of people who are doing well. This is shameless self promotion but I just released a book I did on schizophrenia and talked at length about the potential that people can achieve with examples. I also listed famous people who have had the disease. Don't know if that helps but it helps me. You can read about my book and essays at http://www.cuttingforstone.com. I run the site with a psychiatrist and there are interesting essays on it.
