The Challenge of Schizophrenia
It is important for us to remember that people struggling with Schizophrenia are not the people we once knew. They are different. They are dysregulated. Try not to personalize their reactions, their responses, or their objections. I understand this is easier said than done, because the person in front of you looks like that person you once knew, and sounds like that person, but none of it is making any sense. Also understand that your loved one is probably just as frustrated as you are. Just as their cognitive processing seems flawed to you, that same cognitive processing means you are likely coming across to them in a way that they don’t truly understand.
