A close friend of my deals with schizoaffrctive disorder. One of the greatest guys I know, but it definitely has a huge impact on his life.

The illness impacts us all in many ways and none of us has it easy. I'm more fortunate than others in that I'm classed as "high-functioning," whatever that's supposed to mean.

I hope your friend doesn't suffer too much, but I'm glad he has someone in his life who can be there for him.
