A couple of years ago I did not have a clue what word "schizophrenia" meant, but two years ago a very close friend of mine was diagnosed with it. In a short period of time Olga transformed from a well known person to a stranger. Her actions and behaviors became unfamiliar to people she knew. No body knew what was happening, but soon Tony informed us that Olga suffers of schizophrenia. .
Olga graduated from high school and was attending community college, working toward a dental hygienist degree. She was also working part time as a childcare provider. At age eighteen she began going out with Tony. They became engaged shortly thereafter and went out together frequently until their marriage. Married life was considered a boring routine by both Olga and Tony. There was very little conversation between them, even though she was very talkative and outgoing with us (friends). Olga's disappointment in Tony increased. They had nothing in common; she was outgoing, whereas he had only an ordinary, conventional outlook toward life.
