Should i tell my family (specifically my mother) that i've been diagnosed with major depression and schizophrenia?

Yes, unless your: Therapist feels that it would be unwise. Generally it is best to have family support and encouragement in these illnesses. That can make the difference between thriving and leading an isolated life. Please always stay on your medications and take them as prescribed. There is a high rate of relapse if they are ever stop . You will have to contend with some significant side effects of the medications, but compared to the illness itself, they are worth it.Best wishes to you and please have a blessed holiday season.
