What are the effects? What inner dynamics tend to develop?

Loneliness and isolation are big issues with Schizophrenia. Persons with Schizophrenia tend to find their symptoms getting worse around others, thus, prefer to be alone.

Frustration or anger is likely due to inability to do things they used to do prior to the illness, such as getting a job or having steady relationships.

Feelings of shame may surface, as well as blaming themselves and others for their condition. It is necessary to recognize that having Schizophrenia is not a choice, but an illness brought about by physical causes beyond control. No fault, no shame, no blame.
