I chose to address the topic of Schizophrenia because, in my family, we carry the trait for that gene. My whole life, I saw my grandmother and aunt suffer from this mental illness, and I wanted to understand what they go through every day and get a better understanding of how and why. My website helps me share a part of my life with you, the viewers. And allows you, the viewers, to be aware of the multiple types of Schizophrenia. Please note that all people with a mental illness are not a threat or a danger. We should not be placing someone with a mental illness in a category that is not as important as something else. We should be aware of the several mental illnesses that affect some people regularly. And to have a concept of what they go through every day and know how fortunate enough we are, to not go through what others go through. We need and should appreciate the life and health we have because others are not as lucky as we are.
