SakuraLi: Mr. Marden's story is inspiring and gives me hope, but I tend to think he is an accomplished and successful yet rare person living with schizophrenia. I've researched a month and this was the only positive story about a person with schizophrenia that I found so far, the rest are horror stories.

Two links for you...

Schizophrenia & Hope: A collection of links related to some of the very positive studies that have been done on recovery and the attitudes people carry towards it.

Voices of Recovery: All of the individuals whose stories are shared on this blog are people who have undergone the experience known as psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder in this culture. All of them have recovered completely or to a large degree. I share their stories because, for the individual who is facing such an experience for the first time, nothing is so encouraging as the voices of those who have successfully passed through this transition and moved on in their lives.
