Living With Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder

People living with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder deserve a full and meaningful life. Yet during the more difficult times of the recovery journey, some people need to put certain life goals and relationships on hold to focus more on managing the symptoms of their condition.

Once symptoms are being effectively managed through a combination of medications and supportive treatments, you can set and work toward new life goals.

These mental health goals may include:

• Going back to school
• Getting employed
• Having meaningful relationships
• Becoming a mental health advocate
