Here’s What It’s Like When A Family Member Suffers From Schizoaffective Disorder

There are so many misconceptions and preconceived notions when it comes to mental illnesses. The truth is, unless you or someone you love suffers, it’s hard –  or even impossible – to know what it’s really like.

If you’d like to try to imagine what living with someone with schizophrenia is like, these folks are getting real about their personal experiences.

There’s always work to be done.

It can seem like there’s no way to make it stop.

First and foremost.

In ways you never imagined.

Here’s hoping it’s the start of something good.

I don’t think her mother would approve, if she knew.

But what else is he?

Professional help is important, too.

I imagine people are always a bit on edge, though.

One thing doesn’t preclude the other.

It sounds super tough.

I’d like to give each and everyone one of these families a big hug.
