WELCOME TO MINDNZ

Things like friends and family, a stable home, a job or career are important to all of us. But if you live with mental illness reaching these goals can sometimes be tough.

This site aims to explain what mental illness is about and how it affects people. In particular, this site is about psychosis including schizophrenia.

The good news is that there are ways to manage this illness and get on top of it so it doesn’t hold you back. Recovery is about increasing the chances of staying well, and helping to avoid symptoms from coming back, so you can get on with living your life.

So if you have psychosis or know someone who is suffering from psychotic illness, this site is for you.
