From: Walker, Thomas NAMI Athens Speaker Series at The Athens Public Library Marriage and Schizophrenia: Eyes on the Prize Speakers: STEPHANIE AND ANDREW DOWNING [Marriage and Schizophrenia: Eyes on the Prize]< http://namiathensohio.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/downing_book_cover2.jpg >Any mental illness, particularly one like schizophrenia, can have a devastating effect on family relationships. The co-authors of the book Marriage and Schizophrenia: Eyes on the Prize, Andrew and Stephanie Downing, chose to marry and have children in spite of a full awareness that he had already been diagnosed with schizophrenia. The Downings will discuss the challenge they faced and the tools they used in moving Andrew into recovery - spirituality, non-confrontational communication, fine-tuning of therapy and medication with specialists, the acceptance of limitations, and work with NAMI. Books will be available for sale and signing.
