A mother and her son living with schizophrenia

Amir and his mother Mona describe what life is like living with a highly stigmatised mental illness.

[@tristanbulluss9386]

My dad mostly yells at me for being a drug addict. He thinks I don't have schizophrenia I'm just having drug withdrawals.

[@violetaluna9525]

That's the worse thing that people who are ignorant with mental illness always think it's a drug addiction. Stay safe and do not do drugs it's the worse thing my son did and now his mind is worse, the psychosis is getting worse because wife the drug he uses, so me as a mom i know when he uses. But I do read and follow all kinds of groups to be able to help him better. Take care of yourself 💗

I suspect my son has schizophrenia and I am sad, not sure how to help

[@kotenoklelu3471]

I hope it will get better. Sometimes pills help. I heard about bread madness: it's schizophrenia caused by gluten. I hope he will get stable and stay stable.

Hello,🦋🦋🦋 🐥🐦🐦🐦🦜🐦 God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ(His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus Christ sincerely to be God's child John 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today?
