Psychology

Living with mental illness. Imagine that a family member or close friend of yours was recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia. You are the first person he or she has told about the diagnosis and she or he is looking for support. Provide a transcript of what this conversation might look like. What concerns would your friend have? What questions might you ask? What support would you be willing to offer? Would you feel embarrassed to be seen in public with this friend during a psychotic episode?
