There are countless schizophrenics in this world working 9-5 jobs and supporting themselves. Medication to treat this illness has gotten alot better since my friend killed himself.

I'm sorry to hear this, it must have been absolutely terrible. One of my friends was experiencing a major depressive episode during a bipolar low a few years ago. Bipolar low depression is usually worse than major depressive disorder episodes. It was awful, and he attempted suicide. I am truly very happy he did not succeed.
