I am doing A-Level drama, and our
performance piece is a play called "Find
Me". It's about a girl called Verity, who
has schizophrenia or something similar,
and her family.
I'm playing the character of Mark,
Verity's brother, and I was
wondering/hoping some people on here could
tell me what it's like to have a sibling
with this disorder, or just a family
member with it. Anything will help.
Sorry if this seems...weird/harsh... I
just want to bring believablity to the
play, it is based on a real girl so...
Any help is much appreciated.

Like I told elize, this isn't the kind of
thing that a play should be about, or the
type of thing to entertain with.
But do you have any specific questions in
mind, what do you want to know?

Well I have a fiance who has it, is that any help? Posted: 03-09-08 15:57pm
I agree to a point with what woops said
about this shouldn't be put on to
entertain people, BUT, I do think it is a
good idea, just to make more people aware
of what people living with Schizophrenia
are going through.
As when I met my other half....I didn't
know anything about it, and because in the
beginning he needed to get used to having
someone there it was hard to talk to him
about it. So talking to people with
Schizophrenia really helped me to
understand a little about what he was
going through....It also helped me to be
patient and wait for him to feel he could
tell me. Now I recognise when things are
happening. I think though making people
aware of this is a really good idea....as
they won't be so nieve if they ever come
accross a person going through this.
Is there anything in particular you would
like to know....I'll try and help you as
much as I can....
I'll even ask my other half that if I did
a certain thing what he thinks he would
do...
