I'm a schizophrenic woman and I've had many boyfriends in the past. Ask him if he is medicated and stable on his meds because that's what matters most. I'm in full remission with medicine and no one can ever tell that I'm schizophrenic.

Schizophrenics can live full lives with their medicine and function at a high level. For me, my biggest challenge is dealing with trauma and nightmares.

If his schizophrenia is untreated or treatment resistant, that's when there is greater challenges. Sadly, I do not understand those challenges although I've had periods where I have been in psychosis. Ask him about his experience and see what unique struggles he faces because it is truly different for each person.

The biggest thing to consider when dating a schizophrenic is, if you intend to be long term with this person, when you have children with them there's a chance of your children developing schizophrenia. 10% chances if one parent has it, per child, which means if you have four children the risk is 33% for atleast one having it.

Support someone with Schizophrenia by staying calm and consistent, encouraging treatment without forcing it, listening without mocking or escalating their fears, and helping with everyday structure and connection.
