Supporting a Loved One With Schizophrenia
Caring for someone with a chronic illness is very challenging, and schizophrenia is a particularly difficult disease to manage. Your loved one needs constant support, and as a caregiver, it can be very tough to stay physically and mentally well. Luckily, there are many resources available that can help you manage your journey as a caregiver.
