On the bright side, stable schizophrenics can be highly creative and philisophical individuals and they can be capable of great intellectual insight and stimulating conversation. They often tend to be exceptionally open-minded and accepting of people's limitations and quirks and rarely have I known a schizophrenic to be judgemental toards others which is a trmendous strength. They tend to be quite sensitive and gentle people, given to emotional extremes only when acutely symptomatic and when stable they are refreshingly undemanding. They are often unique and wonderfully eccentric and bring a great deal of individuality to any relationship. It is the emotional arena where where relationships can be most challenged.

if he takes his medication all the time and doesnt miss taking it then he should be fine.

My guess is he telling you because it only way to explain his behavior. People with mental illness are scared to tell because of the image the media / movies as well as people fear of those with illness.

what do YOU want? do You want him back? its not all about him u know

if you love him and he loves you then there is no problem. he may worry a little more than you're used to but if you reassure him that he's loved, then all will be well X

I have worked with skizophrenics. There are different severities of the illness. Some people can function day to day with medications while others end up in long term facilities. Every person is different. Skizophrenics can live a good life but they need medication. They are hard to be around because the delusions come and go and they are usually very suspicious people. A person is born with skizophrenia and it never goes away.
