    > Lloyd emphasized that “good things” have come from his time in rehabilitation. Although he at one point hit “rock bottom,” he feels it was a necessary step to “honestly take part in treatment, honestly take your meds, and honestly live with your diagnosis.

  2. “Everyone’s been very supportive.” That’s just the voices.

  3. It makes me so sad to know that certain famous people have schizophrenia

    But I also believe that having the courage to share their stories helps people feel less alone

    Another important story is that of Alvin Andrew Toles – a former baseball player

  4. I’ve seen cases of schizophrenia in person, I will not detail their lives as that wouldn’t be right but it truly is incredibly difficult for some people.

    Hope he keeps getting the love and support he needs. Sending good vibes your way Jake.
