I think my friend has schizoaffective disorder. I looked it up in the DSMV, and she seems to fit about five of the symptoms.

She lost her job because of an "event" where she freaked out and threw out identity cards. I'm not sure of the details, but it sounds like she may have had delusions or hallucinations, been catatonic and taken to the ER.

Following the episode, she was highly paranoid and had a lack of hygienic functioning.
It's been about six months and she's depressed and angry and still somewhat paranoid, although she's gotten a lot better.

Unfortunately, she's stuck at her parent's house. The bus is too far to walk and they won't drive her anywhere; she doesn't have a job or money to get a place to live on her own.

How do I help her? She won't see a counselor, and doesn't recognize her symptoms as symptoms. I live too far away to drive her to everything she needs to go to-- plus, I have school and work.
She seems afraid to live with me, or outside of where she lives now.

She's extremely bright and was very high-functioning before her episode-- she had amazing grades and a promising future. She's my best friend, and I'm very worried, and I don't want her to hurt herself-- she's starved herself in the past. Her parents don't seem helpful at all. Sometimes I don't hear from her for weeks.

Any advice?
