Schizophrenia is not an easy disorder to live with. Unfortunately when people are aware that you have this kind of disorder they look at you differently than they do people who do not have the condition. Unfortunately I have found that there are those who also take advantage of people in this situation as they know that it is difficult to cope with certain situations. Being a schizophenic also makes it difficult for you to stand up and defend yourself, they want may be the but the struggle to defend yourself is sometimes just too hard.
