Lauren's story began our mission. Your voices continue to shape it. Together, we're working toward a cure.

This World Mental Health Day, we honor Lauren and the countless individuals and families whose experiences remind us why this work matters.

We've listened to stories of delayed diagnoses, treatment struggles, heartbreaking losses, and remarkable resilience.

We believe these voices must drive better care, meaningful reform, and scientific discovery.

Awareness starts the conversation. Lived experience drives change. Science moves us toward a cure.

Your experience matters. Your voice can help drive change. Share your story with us at [email protected].

Together, we can .

They could do the job before. What changed?

Schizophrenia can affect far more than what we can see. Changes in motivation, concentration, memory, sleep and social interaction can make keeping a job incredibly difficult.

But losing the ability to work doesn't always mean losing the ability itself. Sometimes illness has created barriers between the person and the skills they still have.

With treatment, understanding and the right workplace support, employment is possible.

Care. Connect. Cure.

Did you know? 💚

Supporting a loved one with schizophrenia can come with questions, uncertainty, and the need for guidance.

Every Sunday at 6 p.m. ET, CURESZ offers a free support group led by people in full recovery from schizophrenia, along with parents of loved ones in recovery. Caregivers are invited to ask questions, hear firsthand experiences, and connect with others who understand the challenges and hope that come with the recovery journey.

Whether you're looking for advice on supporting your loved one, navigating treatment, or simply finding a community that understands, we're here for you.

Learn more about our Advisory Council and sign up for an upcoming support group by visiting our website. 💚

It may look like they don’t care. But it could be a symptom of schizophrenia.

Avolition, anhedonia, social withdrawal and reduced emotional expression can affect far more than how someone appears. They can impact relationships, work, self-care, finances and even the ability to maintain stable housing.

Understanding the symptom helps us respond to the person—not judge the behavior.

Care. Connect. Cure.

Watching this interview from 1960 is striking.

More than 65 years later, our understanding of schizophrenia has advanced enormously—but diagnosis is still largely based on what we can observe and what a person reports: hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, changes in behavior and functioning.

Today we have genetics, advanced brain imaging, neuroscience, immunology and powerful new research tools. Yet we still don't have a routine objective test that can definitively diagnose schizophrenia.

We've come a long way since 1960. But not far enough.

Understanding the biology behind schizophrenia is how we move from identifying symptoms to identifying disease—and ultimately toward better treatment, prevention, and a cure.
