Someone trying to recover from schizophrenia that is living in this type of home environment is more likely to relapse than if they live with someone who shows little emotion. This person always being in stressful situations and not developing good family home life could be the reason for his continued schizophrenic relapses. And the fact that he does not stay on prescribed meds could contribute to his schizophrenia. Group, family or couples therapy is used in this view.
