I want to be extremely clear here. This information is incredibly useful for caretakers/partners/families of psychotic teenagers and young adults, and you are encouraged to use it. However, you are not the priority here. This website is here to help young people who are struggling with psychosis and psychotic disorders. This is for teenagers who are scared, who are in completely new territory, and who deserve information given in their voice. I am proud to be able to help provide both that voice and that information. For every schizospec person seeing this: Here is a website for you. Not just the people around you. - Alexia
