and you certainly are a good friend.  there are many places at pc that you can reference about schiz. from my experience there are different symptoms for each of us that have mental illness/condition. i hope you will stick around and get to know more so you can best relate to your friend. one thing i do know tho, he is still "in" there..meanng he may have this condition but that doesn't mean that he's not the same person you call friend. he just may have to find new ways to communicate some things with you and you, him.
