… I just think that part of support is the chance to be social with others and to step outside the framework of illness.
As someone who has no social network IRL outside of family coming here and discussing things socially is therapeutic.

That’s why I suggest a separate Lounge section from the remainder.

How about lounge.schizophrenia.com?

I would love to see a completely separate subdomain / forum for off-topic conversation just like what the site did for family.schizophrenia.com I think manpower (moderators) is not a problem. The advantages? (1) It encourages patients to divert their attention from schizophrenia and its treatment temporarily (2) It serves as a “playground” for patients to join off-topic conversations just like normal persons do. forum.schizophrenia.com/c/lounge is not enough, because members can easily go back to the “all categories” schizophrenia forum. What’s everyone’s idea?
