| This special expert forum was created in light of Schizophrenia Awareness Day on 25 July 2008.
If you would like this forum to continue as an online support group, please mail the editor of the Mind hub at ipauw@health24.com. Dr Henk Temmingh, senior lecturer and specialist at Valkenburg Hospital's Acute Admissions Unit, was one of our guest experts. He mostly deals with psychosis-related disorders and has an interest in dual diagnosis and the epidemiology of psychosis. Cape Support for Mental Health, a support group for family members and caregivers of people with schizophrenia, also participated.
