- [Mide Kraja](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/mide-kraja/) - For more than two decades, my younger sibling has been living with schizophrenia. In recent years, his condition has worsened, leading to frequent emergency room visits and stays in inpatient behavioral clinics. Amid all of this, I have witnessed my parents – his primary caregivers – demonstrate unconditional love. Whether visiting him in the hospital every chance they get or enjoying small moments together – taking him to coffee shops, going shopping or driving along the coast – their love is constant. However, as anyone with a loved one with schizophrenia knows, such activities have become rare. The difficult days outnumber the good ones. Our greatest wish for him is to find a quality of life where he can engage with the world in a way that brings him a deep sense of peace and joy.
- [Barbara Diffendal](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/barbara-diffendal/) - My husband is 73. We've been together 30 years. He was diagnosed when he was about 25 years old. He worked 16 years with the voices, and he had an understanding boss who made allowances for him. He was afraid of the voices, but he took medication, including the newer ones that came along. He qualified for disability [pay] and I worked. It worked out for us until he developed anosognosia.
- [Jodi K Bisio](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/jodi-k-bisio/) - The thought of being where I am versus where I would be, What a life to prove schizophrenia doesn’t define me. A living hell nobody wants to admit or endure. A diagnosis people will run from, I am quite damn sure. A purpose in life that was pushed far away each day. A woman's future, yet so tainted with unforgiven delay. A love of herself that grew broken, no longer strong. A life that was torn apart and done so wickedly wrong.
- [Caregiver Story](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/caregiver-story-2/) - My 26-year-old son has schizoaffective disorder. He and our family have had eight years of hell coping with this severe mental illness, in which he experiences episodes of psychosis. Before the onset of this debilitating brain disease at age 18, he was a gentle, thoughtful, very bright young man, with a huge college scholarship to study engineering.
- [Linda Manzo](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/linda-manzo/) - My son has schizophrenia and was diagnosed at 26. He is now 42 and suffers with alcohol and pot addiction. He does take monthly [medicine] in exchange for me paying his rent. That’s been the best I can do. Although it is a financial challenge to pay two rents as I am a single mom, I know that he is a good man, and I love him. I’ve tried to surrender changing him. No matter what I do, he continues to drink, and with anosognosia, it only makes it harder. I am very concerned about what will happen when I am gone. My faith gives me strength.
- [Randy Rodriguez](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/randy-rodriguez/) - Regret. Regret is what you are left with when all the “What if” circular thinking is exhausted. I saw a poster once where the inspirational words read, “If only I could go back to that moment just before everything started to go wrong.” As a caregiver, that is the emotional framework you live in, with the ”live in the present” approach to life. Not because you’ve mastered the art of being present, but because when you caretake for someone with psychosis, there is no plan, there no roadmap, there is no future. Hope is a circus-mirror reality, warped into patterns only you can recognize. I spend every waking minute of existence working to pull normalcy into life, while my impacted spouse spends every waking hour unconsciously destabilizing it. The internal voices overpower family, daughter, husband, parents, friends. I am stuck between. Love drives me. Responsibility drives me. Doing the right thing drives me. Laws, medications, treatments, confinement all deserve discussion. But so does the isolation of the caregiver without buttering it with excessive optimism. This is hard.
- [Sam Marx](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/sam-marx/) - Our 30-year-old son passed away last March. He died of natural causes from a heart attack. He was first diagnosed with schizoaffective and bipolar while in college. He lived with us for nine years, and last year moved into a residential treatment center. He was doing so well. He was enjoying meeting new people. He was on his new medication. He was an athlete before his diagnosis, but with all the medications and lack of exercise, the autopsy showed he had an enlarged heart. He was a kind and polite person. We miss him every day. It makes me smile to think he literally had a big heart. I miss him so much.
- [Jo Canady](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/jo-canady/) - My son was diagnosed at age 25. He is 39 now. He lacks judgement and makes poor decisions. He has gotten into financial debt he can't pay. I worry about his health and wellbeing. He doesn't take care of himself. He is on an injection and daily medication. GOD gives me strength. I'm able to help my son have a roof over his head, transport and food. Resources are very limited to find to help him. He needs some help to keep his place clean. It's horrible living conditions but he has a roof over his head. I hope one day he will be able to get a job and enjoy life.
- [Caregiver Story](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/caregiver-story-3/) - My son descended into full-blown psychosis at age 17. He is now 27. I'm here to tell you there is hope!! He was so affected: religious delusions, paranoid, aggressive, confused. Through a great first-psychosis program, weekly therapy, multiple different trials of meds, regular sleep schedule and meds, lots of outdoor walks and finally on [medicine] and a long-acting injectable, he has not been hospitalized in three years, is a sweet, helpful son and fully participates in many special-needs sports teams. No, cognitively he will never be the same, but he is a wonderful son and I love him so much!!!!!
- [Sue Maida](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/sue-maida/) - I simply cannot believe the lack of care that exists for those suffering with SERIOUS mental illness (SMI). It’s unforgivable. The ignorance and misinformation surrounding psychosis and anosognosia is unbelievable. The refusal of “professionals” to listen to distraught and desperate families causes irreparable harm. Lives, families and communities are destroyed. Families try for years/decades to get help for their loved one who has been “stolen” by a brain illness. Loving, kind, intelligent people have had their lives devastated by the merciless grips of psychosis. Coupled with anosognosia, psychosis is so difficult to overcome. It’s nearly impossible to find hope, much less help.
- [Marina S.](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/marina-s/) - My son has been living with schizoaffective disorder for 4 years now. This disease took a lot from him in the beginning, and continues to make everyday life difficult, but I am so proud of how he has learned to cope with his symptoms and has developed ways to mitigate triggers and other stressors that can cause his symptoms to worsen. Our family felt very alone at first, as did my son, and I think that part of starting the journey of living in this “new normal” is to realize that you aren't alone and there are other people who can relate to parts of your journey.
- [Caregiver Story](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/caregiver-story-4/) - Challenges! I used to think I knew what those were until I became a full-time caregiver for my sibling who is schizophrenic. In the late spring of 2021, my family suffered two losses. Two of my sisters passed away from COVID-19. One of those sisters was the primary caregiver for my brother who suffers from schizophrenia. She had been his caregiver for more than 20 years, so it is safe to say that they had a routine. Before that sister passed, she was also suffering with an illness that caused her to slowly deteriorate. She needed care, but she continued to do all that she could to continue to care for my brother. After she passed, another sister attempted to care for my brother, while the rest of the family settled two estates and tried to get our family back on track.
- [Jane Jepson](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/jane-jepson/) - When my youngest son was diagnosed with schizophrenia, I was propelled into a traumatic period of personal darkness. In psychosis, my son believed I was an imposter and refused to call me Mom. I was alone, confused and often immobilized with guilt, anger and loss. In my sorrow, I took inventory of what was lost. Many of the most painful losses were injuries to my sense of self and family narrative:
- [Perri Bach](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/perri-bach/) - I hope and pray that I have the strength to advocate to the government and other powers that be, to create laws to provide for kind and gentle care facilities for our beautiful intelligent people with psychotic and schizophrenic disorders. A place where caring people can place them – yes, even against their will – when they are delusional and unable to care for themselves. A place that is safe, kind and provides medical care and respect while they stabilize and progress to become their own best productive self and function in society. A place where they can be treated with love and dignity. A place that is safe from harm while they are loved and cared for. Not jail, not on the streets, not an institution of the past. We, as Americans, owe this to our citizens. We are not kind by leaving them out on the streets to die or cause harm to themselves or others, just because their fragile delusional mind says that they don’t want or need help. You are worth saving. I love you.
- [Penny Miller](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/penny-miller/) - Peggy, my sister, was tough, funny, generous and street smart. She lived with intellectual challenges and paranoid schizophrenia. She also survived in a tough and challenging reality where people lived in the ceiling and walls of her house and came out at night when she was sleeping to move her things, eat her food, watch her TV and steal money.

- [Kristin Gibson](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/kristin-gibson/) - What gives me hope and inspiration is the bravery and fortitude of my two children. What gives me strength is the other families and caregivers I've met on this long journey. What gives me HOPE and keeps me going is the exceptional doctors, nurses, therapists, peers and providers who give all their heart and compassion on darkest days. Both of my children are in recovery from episodes of psychosis. My daughter, diagnosed first with depression, anxiety and anorexia, eventually presented in full-bloom mania and psychosis before doctors really knew the best diagnosis/treatment course for her.
- [Maye Jepson](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/maye-jepson/) - Our lives were changed forever when we received a call from our youngest son. He was enlisted in the U.S. Army and serving as a cavalry scout at Fort Irwin, Calif. Shock does not adequately describe my feelings when he told me he had been sent to a mental health facility and diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. That was more than 20 years ago. The challenges have been numerous: medication changes, late-night calls, explanations of what doesn't make sense to him...all the problems that come with this horrible condition. Today he is in recovery – not cured, but over the years, with a solid treatment plan, he has learned to manage the symptoms and live a meaningful life.
- [Matthew Petersen](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/matthew-petersen/) - My son Luke is 16. For six years, he has had mental health challenges that were brushed aside by our broken healthcare system. I never stopped fighting for him, and those efforts paid off when he was given a schizophrenia diagnosis earlier this year. With the help of [medication] and psychiatry, his quality of life has improved dramatically. I gain strength in knowing I fight not only for Luke, but for others. I can see the results! I have hope in knowing those with schizophrenia can lead productive lives!
- [Shelby and Patricia Troy](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/shelby-and-patricia-troy/) - I am submitting this on behalf of my mom, Trisha. She took on total care of my older brother, Harrison, from the moment he was diagnosed up until he passed on July 4, 2023. He struggled greatly with his paranoid schizophrenia and my mom took on the role of managing his care, getting him to his appointments, food shopping, cleaning – you name it. I know it was incredibly difficult for my brother, of course, but for my mom, as well. It just goes to show how much she loved him and would have done anything for him.
- [Christen J Q White](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/christen-j-q-white/) - Being a caregiver for someone with mental illness, particularly schizophrenia, is a profound and often heartbreaking experience that can be difficult to articulate. Watching a loved one struggle with this debilitating condition feels like witnessing them being held captive by an ugly disease that distorts their reality. The most painful aspect is that they often do not recognize that anything is wrong. This creates a unique challenge for caregivers, who must navigate the complexities of communication while dealing with psychosis, depression and other symptoms that profoundly affect their loved one's thought processes.
- [Laura Craciun](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/laura-craciun/) - Laura Craciun has been facing a slow, ongoing crisis with her son's mental illness, particularly his anosognosia, which makes him unaware of his condition. Despite her efforts to educate others and advocate for policy changes, she has accepted that her son's fate is now in the hands of the legal system, while she continues to focus on her family and advocacy for systemic reforms.
- [Mindy Greiling](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/mindy-greiling/) - Mindy, a caregiver, is deeply concerned about her son Jim's future care, especially after she and her husband are gone, as they navigate the complexities of securing supportive housing for people with mental illnesses. Despite legal and financial preparations, she advocates for more publicly funded housing options, recognizing the challenges families face in ensuring their loved ones receive the necessary care and support.
- [Melanie](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/melanie/) - Melanie's story is one of unwavering love and resilience, as she navigates the challenges of caring for a loved one with a serious mental illness. Despite financial and emotional hardships, she remains devoted, advocating for proper care and embracing the present, knowing that love can foster healing and growth.
- [Nancy Pizzo Boucher](https://dev-schizophrenia-and-psychosis-action-alliance.pantheonsite.io/celebrating-caregivers/nancy-pizzo-boucher/) - Nancy, a former special education teacher, became a caregiver for her son with a serious mental illness, learning that true recovery requires first healing the person behind the illness.
