Since I started taking Invega, I have had very few episodes.
I noticed your profile page says your primary concern is Depression. Are you talking about a depression episode? Depression can last days, weeks, months. Distractions help a lot for coping with mental illnesses. Music, which is very important to me. Movies, deep breathing.

I was diagnosed with depression a few years ago, but after I had a schizophrenic episode I went to my doctor and he sent me to a psychologist who diagnosed me with paranoid schizophrenia. I have episodes sometimes. I was just curious on what what people do to cope with it.
