Staying active helps overcome mental illness

by Mark in North Carolina

I have schizophrenia. I was diagnosed more than 15 years ago. It's my own personal illness, but even after all these years, I overcome this illness by staying active.

Today, I feel better and am doing much better than I had been. I live in a group home. Going to my clubhouse and having a job has helped with improving my condition. I also enjoy bowling, playing volleyball, lunch, chores, and educational classes.
