Then the thought arises, what are some of the ways that media can improve on portraying things differently? I think that maybe they can explain in a small explanation on how things are in real life. Possibly explain that this is the extreme and that this is part of the reality but much more is added. I think that maybe even though life was strange, maybe they can go and do their research and survey better to where they know what they are really trying to portray. I know that it is more interesting to so the struggles like that, but maybe make the point that this is how it is without medication or treatment.
I have gone through alot. There is help and much to be learned. Media isn’t always truthful. Not everyone knows this, but I know that what I see what I have been through, and overcome, schizophrenia has strengthened my character.
I am schizophrenic. I have a great personality. Yes, at one time it controlled me. Now I control my life in society. Some people treat me stupid, but I know I am who I am. My schizophrenia doesn’t control me; I control my life in society. I may never be how I was without it, but I will have my new gained strength. I do function in society. Media portrays schizophrenic people as crazy but we are better and, better off than it appears.
