i couldnt have said it much more better myself. thats EXACTLY what im talking about. all the points you said were are right on to the point. the feeling socially connected whether its to family or any friends or even acquaintances you might have. being apart of the community - yes yes yes!!! and psychosocial activites do NOT only have to be apart of the mental health system like a Drop In center or something. its way so much more than that.

i honestly believe that if more people with not just schizophrenia had better relationships (with fam or friends) and was apart of their community (doesnt have to be just about holding a job or going to school) they would either recover faster or have longer periods of remission than other people with mental illness who arent participating or getting a chance at psychosocial activities.
