Are the people here more functioning?

Out of interest I have browsed on the Family and Caregivers Discussion Boards and read many families hardship dealing with their family members Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder. It is kinda heartbreaking.

Do you think the people who use this discussion forum are more functioning then those of the family members on the Caregivers forms? Or are we the same but we can’t talk about ourselves from a third person prospective like family members can about their family members so we don’t fully grasp what we are like when we are unwell?

I think it’s both. There’s probably a better degree of functioning here but also as you pointed out, we don’t get a third perspective.

I think the people on here want to get better but on the family forum they have to deal with people who don’t believe they’re sick.
