Welcome to #SchizoChat, the biweekly forum where I ask questions, take questions, and post facts about some #schizophrenia-related topic every ~5 minutes for two hours! Today’s topic: "So, you've just been diagnosed with schizophrenia, now what?"
I’m not an expert on these topics—I’m merely an individual with schizoaffective disorder hoping to get a conversation going and #EndTheStigma. Please correct me if you notice I’m saying something incorrectly, and please share! #SchizoChat
This topic, like most, can get really personal, so please respect each other’s opinions! Or their right to have an opinion at least. #SchizoChat

We here at #SchizoChat respect everyone’s opinions—please be courtesy and remember that these topics are really personal for people. We all have different experiences and that is good!

Welcome to #SchizoChat, the biweekly forum where I ask questions about your mental health experiences, spout fun (?) facts about schizo-related topics, and answer the questions you send over comment/DM. Today we are talking about consent to treatment!
If you’ve missed some of our previous #SchizoChats about schizo symptoms, antipsychotics, asylums and more please check out my pinned tweet—I have them all linked there!

I'm hoping to add fun facts to this thread every 5 minutes or so, so stay tuned! #SchizoChat

I'm also running a big statistical analysis in the background, so if I suddenly drop out it is because my computer crashed. It's been happening a lot frequently.

Today’s #SchizoChat is all about antipsychotics. What are they, why are they useful, how are they controversial, and what do you need to know about them? #schizophrenia #schizoaffective #psychiatry
Before I begin, a quick word: this can be a very controversial topic, as we will delve in later. All folks’ opinions are valid (especially their personal experiences!) so don’t be mean! These drugs can really impact lives for the good or bad. #SchizoChat
Folks’ opinions can be very split—check out this recent poll! At the time of tweeting, the results are all over the place! Controversial! #SchizoChat

Welcome to the first #SchizoChat! A (hopefully) weekly Twitter forum to discuss topics related to schizo-type diseases (i.e. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, etc.) and help #EndTheStigma
Before we begin, please know that I’m not under any delusion that these will be far-reaching—yet. This account is less than a month old, after all. But I’m hoping to get a conversation rolling. Like what you see? Help spread this with the hashtag and RT! #SchizoChat
I’m going to be posting some fun facts into this thread every ~10 minutes or so. If you have questions about that fact please ask them over comments or DM—whichever you think is more comfortable. #SchizoChat
