    Abstract
    Schizophrenia is a disease which presents many challenges. Medically, legally, and socially, afflicted individuals face obstacles that decrease their overall quality of life. Some of these are sequela of the disease and its decrease in social functioning, or symptoms of paranoia and disorganization. However, others are placed on these individuals by society. This has created a lifestyle which is marred by comorbid medical conditions and a resistance to receive treatment. It also creates frequent contact with the legal system, leading to a disorganized home life, and a significant amount of time spent behind bars, and being victimized by others. Finally, many schizophrenic patients are unable to find jobs, and report being without significant supportive relationships in their lives, creating stress both on themselves and their families and caregivers. These difficulties in life can be inseparable from their disease and place schizophrenic patients at a further disadvantage.
