  • Title: Living With Schizophrenia
  • Date: 29th May 1990
  • Summary: THE EMPHASIS OF THIS PROGRAMME IS ON THE RLEATIONSHIPS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD A SCHIZOPHRENIC ILLNESS. WE TEND TO THINK OF THE MENTALLY ILL AS ISOLATED AND UNABLE TO MIX. BUT THIS ISN'T TRUE. PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SCHIZOPHRENIA OFTEN FIND RELATIONSHIPS DIFFICULT BUT THEY VALUE FRIENDSHIPS AN DLIKE TO BE HELPED TO JOIN IN THINGS. WE SEE PEOPLE AT A DISCOTHEQUE, IN A DAY HOSPITAL AND TAKING PART IN A SKITTLES MATCH. WE AGAIN MEET JULIE, ANDREW, ALAN, TOM AND JEFFREY AND ARE ALSO INTORDUCED TO ROLAND AND KEN. ANOTHER DIMENSION OF RELATIONSHIPS IS THE EXPERIENCE OF THE FAMILIES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SCHIZOPHRENIA. WE LEARN FROM A NUMBER OF RELATIVES WHAT LIVING WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA MEANS FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW.
