You must talk to him about this and if possible, his mental health worker or psychiatrist-with him- to iron out any niggling doubts and qustions and to know what will help him/ support him and how to improve his illness.

People with mental health problems are two-a-penny, they are everywhere. They eat the same food as you, use the same transport system you do, shop in the same shops. They are really just like everyone else but carry a more awkwardly shaped bag of past with them.

Illnesses are not always for ever and ever, in the same way a person may live cancer free for many years, so may a person with mental health problems, its just about finding a more comfortable balance of health.

Talk things through with him. Its important he doesnt rely on you to make him feel better/take away the illness, or he could become clingy which is ultimatly damaging for the relationship and his mental health in the long term.

Living human kind with old age were having twin personality.

Confuse the young ones when they were communicating at higher level of their minds in planet of apes.

Can create misunderstanding with the young ones.

To solve the problem is to ignore them but listen closely to what they communicating.

They know what they are talking about just that the young ones do not pay attention since sometime get shot at with point blanks in planet of apes.

Sometime they are mistaken for a looney in planet of apes.

Carolina. It is so nice of him that he confessed that he suffers from this illness. He will need a lot of support. People with mental illnesses need to be treated as normal people. This will give him confidence. You must be understanding if you really love him. Argentox2@yahoo.com

Speaking from a personal level as someone with schizophrenia , I find it very hard to form a loving relationship with anyone at all. If you run away -I want you back, if you run towards me - I'll can be very nasty and push you away. I've given up on that side of my life but have some very good friends whom I don't feel the need to push away.

You need to put yourself first.

Brilliant answer from opester, very insightful and very true.

One of my friends with this illness worked for the BBC - people with schizophrenia can recover and certainly lead normal lives. It can difficult to be with someone with a psychotic illness but by no means impossible - 1% of people in this country have schizophrenia and plenty are in a relationship
