Not to you, but for others on this thread: mocking schizophrenia is cruel and ignorant, no different than mocking those suffering with any other medical infirmity.
Anybody who makes jokes about schizophrenia has obviously never had a family member with it.
Shame on you all who think it’s a joke.
I don’t have a family member with it, but took turns with other church members helping to look after a young lady who suffered from it. Her family disowned her when she became ill. The way we treat the mentally ill in this country is shocking. So sad this poor lady ended up in that river.
Amen. Folks best pray they have no family or never succumb to such an illness.
My college thesis was on this subject. You are correct, it’s not a laughing matter at all. It’s really quite troubling
Having to deal with family suffering from mental illness is a harsh reality.
Fortunately, we live in a time where there is some hope and some help.

As you say. Is not a choice, is a ROBBER, is painful for all involved.
I had the privilege of knowing a veteran with long time resistant schizophrenia, inpatient, who was tried on a newly introduced drug. It worked so well in his case that he was able to keep regular work, and obviously enjoy life. Was night and day.
Well said. Schizophrenia is a cruel disease that rarely ends well. Destroys the young.
Ditto. Jokes about this are shallow.
