Types of help: Dear joy -- if suffering from schizophrenia, you can get personalized help and treatment from your own psychiatrist in your own community. On healthtap we can help by answering informational questions, but cannot diagnose, prescribe medications, or do psychotherapy. I hope this helps differentiate the forms of help which can be provided in each context.
