Dazed, borderline schizophrenia is where the symptoms are mild or where there is a preexisting tendency to have schizophrenic symptoms... which, if someone else in the family had it, would create that tendency.

the depression might exist because of the dx and the idea that life, at prime, isn't going to happen and has changed just when everything should be wide open for you...

medication is important, therapy is equally important, and family support is key also. With these 3, it's "doable."

Schizophrenics often have a debate with themselves about taking medicine, and by not deciding, or not being able to secure meds themselves, they allow the "other reality" to intrude. Often, this element and feeling within the "other reality" or place or whatever, is more desirable than real life!
