If you or someone you love is struggling with possible schizophrenia, you are not alone. Millions of people in the United States have some form of schizophrenia. Many are living happy lives, free from the pain of psychosis. Schizophrenia is not a hopeless diagnosis. But it is serious. You are going to need help getting things under control. If you are feeling confused or frightened, there are organizations that can help and people who want to share their experience, strength and hope with you.

Would a Support Group Help Recovery?
I'm not affiliated with any group or program. I am just trying to get the word out about methods that help people recover from schizophrenia. NAMI the National Alliance of Mental Illness is an altruistic organization that offers information and support to people suffering from schizophrenia in several ways. NAMI support groups are places where people who are facing the same challenges come together and share their experience, strength and hope with each other. This video shows real people telling about their experience with support groups and how it has effected their mental health.
