The Schizophrenia Commission are inviting people to take part in a survey re schizophrenia and psychosis, it is 100 years since the Swiss Psychiatrist, Bleuler first coined the term schizophrenia. Affecting around 1% of the population, the condition is a major cause of disability. It is poorly understood and is still surrounded by stigma.

Depending on the individual, the environment around them and the interventions available, prognosis for those developing schizophrenia can vary considerably. The Schizphrenia Commission are keen to hear from everyone affected and interested in schizophrenia and psychosis,  They  have created a survey for individuals to tell them about your views and experiences in relation to schizophrenia or psychosis. It can be filled in by anyone interested in mental health. They hope practitioners, people living with mental illness, families, people working in health and social care services across the country will respond. They need to hear your point of view! follow this link to take part in this survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/szcomm
