This month MerelyMe of our sister depression web site graciously offered to answer some questions I had about living with a loved one who has schizophrenia.
Her mother was diagnosed with this illness. I wanted to give an insider's view because so many community members write in about their hardship coping with a loved one's SZ.
MerelyMe also interviewed me for a piece on depression and schizophrenia so as soon as she posts it I will provide the link here.
