I'm posting this for people to find via google search and elsewhere if they'd like to identify with having this and are looking for or know of a good support group.
I know someone diagnosed with this, and there is a feeling of helplessness and loneliness. I'd like to find her a support group or start one if needed of others that have the same diagnosis looking for the same.
Something free where people don't have to pay money to meet other people that are in the same situation.

I wasn't aware a mental health forum existed. I have no problem with moving the post. I checked out NAMI.. it'd be nice to find something that didn't cost people money to simply meet though.

I have a brother who is schizophrenic and I've attended NAMI courses for family members and never paid a penny. I think free support groups are available via NAMI. You don't have to pay the $35 annual fee to join NAMI in order to attend their classes/support groups.

Schizoaffective is not as common as schizophrenia and mood disorders but it is similar to both. Keep in mind that your friend might also benefit from support groups for other illnesses such as bipolar or schizophrenia.
