This is YOUR TURN - to talk about your own experiences of what it is like to live with schizophrenia. We hope to add a new dimension to understanding of what schizophrenia means in human terms, by letting you tell it in your own words. This is a consumer-directed project, designed to help people with schizophrenia to express themselves and understand their situation better by comparing experiences. Another team member is a professional, assisting with the project. All responses will be confidential and anonymous - your name will not be published or used in any way.
Researchers maintain the right to use all submissions while maintaining respondents' anonymity.
The researchers will not identify authors of submissions to the public or to each other. Respondents who include verifiable identification may change their minds and withdraw verifiable information at any time. Respondents who include verifiable identification will not be identified in any of the intended publications. We hope to portray a common experience, not necessarily individual accounts. Responses will be reviewed to determine common experiences, to draw a picture of what life is like for people diagnosed with schizophrenia.
