Too long did not read. This advice is not helpful if you have schizophrenia.

There's a lot of advice that's good for general audiences that isn't good for schizophrenia...or other MH issues for that matter. That doesn't mean the advice should be disregarded or ignored. There may be ways that it could help those with schizophrenia despite your dismissal.

  My comment was a joke and I am ok with the downvotes because I understand HN folks can sometimes have difficulty with jokes.

    > because I understand HN folks can sometimes have difficulty with jokes. if you had written something like "this advice must not be very helpful" rather than "this advice is not helpful" then it could have been more apparent that it was a joke. as it is, it looks like you're making unfounded assertions about mental illnesses that you don't have, which is incredibly disrespectful.

  In my experience not everyone with schizophrenia / a schizoaffective disorder is able to communicate their experience very well, but some of them have published content about it and it can be quite a fascinating research subject. I'm not aware of any articles myself, only videos, but if you're open to that I have a few recommendations that you could start with. My favorite example would probably be this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU8VmJsX6-s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU8VmJsX6-s It may also be worth checking this one out, which is a review of various "schizophrenia simulations" (in other words, depictions): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60n7ZP3Cj-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60n7ZP3Cj-4 There are also videos that aren't necessarily credible sources, but that I find thought-provoking regardless. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHuFSnhKG9I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHuFSnhKG9I I don't have schizophrenia myself, but I have DID and a few other mental illnesses, so the topic of mental illness in general is particularly interesting to me. Learning about others' experiences can teach me things about myself, too.
