Schizophrenia FamiliesThursday 29 May 2003
Those who care for the mentally ill often experience isolation and frustration.

Theresa Smith has written Reading the Signs, a play about the way she was treated by the mental health services when her daughter was given a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
Theresa Smith joins Sheila to explain why she thinks a change in attitude on the services part would benefit both them and families and Rufus May, a clincial psychologist with the Assertive Outreach Team in Bradford and a former service user joins them to discuss the issue raised.
For more information call the BBC Actionline on 0800 044 044.
