Pakistan lacks knowledge and awareness regarding mental illnesses and its care. People in our society have no awareness about mental care and are still living in a mindset with social stigma attached with mental ilnesses.
Schizophrenia, being one of the most complex chronic mental illnesses is the least known in our society, so much that patients sufferring with it are alienated and looked down upon. Due to this, people feel discouraged to come out and get it diagnosed and treated.
This thesis project brings an online platform to Pakistan giving people access to knowlegde, awareness and a handling toolkit for Schizophrenia.
Us (Understanding Schizophrenia) Pakistan is targeted mainly towards the caretakers of people suffering from Schizophrenia and also to the people in society so that they understand and help the victims of Schizophrenia.

Once they hear stories and if they have had a similar experience they might be motivated to share theirs, and seek help.
