5-Don’t give up on them
Helping a family member or friend with schizophrenia is a marathon, so make sure you take care of yourself while you’re caring for your loved one. “My husband has been very helpful, he listens to me and lets me talk about what I’m going through without being judgmental,” says Tina. “He’s willing to let me be alone if I want to be, but I always know he’s there for me.”
In addition
There are now self-help groups for carriers of schizophrenia and their families. They do not involve specialists: psychologists and psychotherapists. Ordinary people, bound by the same misfortune and problems, console, support each other, share experiences, which gives a noticeable psycho therapeutic effect. Between them, acquaintances are made, strong ties, they cease to be isolated, they often communicate with each other.
Sharing is caring!
