For the schizophrenics reading; there is help available

I have found the best thing to do for episodes of psychosis is to keep talking them out into a group setting. If you can find a schizophrenics anonymous, that's good. If not, however, there is a very helpful website where you can share your innermost delusions, hallucinations or just chat with someone so afflicted like yourself. It is called, simply, www.schizophrenia.com and is free to join and to post ideas, symptoms, and just to chat with others on the site.

For those that just wish to learn about the disease, I suggest that you read a few articles on schizophrenia.com on the left hand side of the page to familiarize yourself with the debilitating disorder.

There are others who might want to use this valuable resource to their advantage--those that have sons, daughters, moms, dads or anyone else that they care about that has schizophrenia. I have not explored sites that pertain to manic depressive disorder (bipolar) or major depression. For those of you with these disorders, I suggest that you read information on www.nami.org. This, too is a valuable resource for those that are, or care for, the mentally ill.
