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

Are you ready to #SchizoChat, our weekly series where we spout fun facts about schizo-type illnesses, ask questions, and generate conversation to help #EndTheStigma?
Last week we discussed treating schizo-type illnesses with antipsychotic medication. If you missed that #SchizoChat check it out here (in html format): threadreaderapp.com/thread/1184604…
Or this thread:
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

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
