Whats the best way to help someone with schitzophrenia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Emotional support: The best way to help is to be friendly and supportive. You should treat them the same as you would if someone had a physical illness. Encourage them to see their psychiatrist and take their medications. You can also help them to recognize and differentiate between reality and delusions.
