Schizophrenia Myths and Facts - Schizophrenia Center - EverydayHealth.com

I have no experience with people who actually have schizophrenia but this article does seem to dispel some of the myths about it.

Saw a commercial about ten days ago that said that 1/6 Americans have some kind of mental illness. This was during an episode of Alcatraz on Fox.

The individual with schizophrenia has a rough road too, but the family...even more so.
