Dated a girl whose aunt was schizophrenic. The schizophrenic's grandfather and brother were psychoanalysts. Poor girl got a fair amount of non-disinterested-party talk therapy. She never did anything violent - well, nothing to more than the canary - but she was pretty sick. She found a dude - also schizophrenic - and they definitely had a safety net... but it was a pretty bleak existence. I mean, we'd have them over for events and social occasions and stuff. But Kathy would still suspect that her sister was trying to steal Garth, and Garth still thought I was an ancient Egyptian god. DSHS estimates that 1/3rd of all homeless people are schizophrenic.
