Schizophrenia is a seroius mental illness that affects one percent of the population or 2 to 3 million Americans. The illness affects the mind in the form of hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking and other symptoms. There is no cure for schizophrenia, yet, however, there is treatment that reduces symptoms.
You can help scientist come up with a cure for schizophrenia through giving. Here are just some of the organizations where you can donate your financial gift to, I encourage you to learn more about an organization and to support them:
1) National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression or NARSAD
2) National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI
3) Schizophrenia Research Institute (Australia)
4) Schizophrenia Society of Nova Scotia (Canada)
To learn more about schizophrenia visit the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) or Schizophrenia Society of Novia Scotia. Thank you for your support!

Thanks for the post. I agree 100%. That is why I will be donating 75% of my art print sales to charity. I am so excited to help in some way!
