globeandmail.com: We're all to blame for staying mum on mental illness

It is about schizophrenia and violence. Very few people with schizophrenia commit violent acts. But the reality is that those that don't receive treatment are capable of committing violent acts. Society is to blame for this because it's because of stigma by society that prevents people from seeking treatment.

I think that you will find this article a real eye-opener.

The Schizophrenia Society of Nova Scotia

Are you affected by schizophrenia in any way? Are you a consumer or a family member. The Schizophrenia Society is an excellent place to attend.

The people there are going through the same experience you are. They can share their experience, strength, and hope with you. They can help you cope with and deal with your situation. Information and encouragement can be provided there. You don't have to go it alone. It greatly helps to be with others who are experiencing the same thing that you are.

If you are affected by schizophrenia seriously consider attending the Schizophrenia Society.
