Loyal readers of my HealthCentral news articles will remember I quoted this statistic: 96 percent of the individuals that start to collect government disability benefits in the United States remain on them permanently.
其必然结果是，一项研究表明，在就业竞争诊断为精神分裂症工作的人只有10％到20％。
I started to receive SSDI benefits that totaled $423/month because I worked part-time at a minimum wage job while I was in college. This was in 1987. By August 1990, I had a full-time job and kissed my government benefits goodbye.
我在就业竞争从那时起马不停蹄工作过，目前有专业的工作。其实，我有两个工作，一段时间对一侧的第三作业。
If you were to ask me I would tell you that the goal is for a young person newly diagnosed with schizophrenia to get into the swing of life as quickly as possible.
我的整体办法就业，这不是要么你收集了政府残疾支票，或者你没有使用。
My approach is that you "research yourself" to figure out the kinds of jobs you might like to do and could be good at. You don't have to settle for working at an inferior job or for collecting SSI or SSDI. You can indeed work at a job you want to do and love to do.
You deserve to shoot for the stars not to be told by your psychiatrist or other mental health staff in your treatment team that it isn't possible to work.
You get the courage and confidence to work at a job by first doing volunteer work or working at a part-time job. You can find volunteer work on Idealist or VolunteerMatch geared to what your passion is.
我没有在传统的日计划建议长期逗留。我建议认真研究职业培训的选择和询问了很多问题作为培训的类型是否将成为一个真正的工作是在市场上提供。
The New York State Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) that turned into VESID and then ACCES-VR had a track record of sending people who were hearing impaired or deaf to be trained in a printing program. In reality the training was obsolete because no jobs existed in that field anymore.
In 1989, OVR sent me to a 6-month clerical program to get trained so I could get my first job as an administrative assistant. I started the job in August, 1990. The woman that had interviewed me to become her assistant liked that I had a college degree.
在此之前，我在第一天的节目花了近一年近一年在第二天的程序，只略高于保姆服务的人是不能在社会中的作用。我把它比作围栏。
我与我的第2天计划辅导员要认真对待，我得到一个全职工作的目标奋斗。我穿着摇杆别致的，她告诉我没有雇主会想雇用谁的人“打扮得很格林威治村。”
She didn't realize I had the burning ambition to be employed and that I was committed to dressing the part to get ahead. I was willing to reserve my after-hours garb for Saturdays.
这是牛肉我有在精神卫生系统所遇到的工作人员我：他们可能倾向于向他们的客户和视图的人格特质或简单的动作刻板印象病理。
咨询师攻击我,我很安静and placed me in the lowest level on the lowest rung of the ladder of the types of groups in the day program. I was literally shell-shocked because I had been shunted into the second day program instead of encouraged to set a goal to find a job and live independently as soon as I possibly could. I lost my voice.
No. I don't think you should automatically assume you need to collect SSI if you've never worked before or SSDI if you've paid into the social security system by working at a job.
我估计是更好的选择是在兼职工作，直到你得到你的脚离开地面，并能找到雇主的医疗保险长期全职工作。
The congress people in Washington want to deny Americans healthcare. I say we should lobby these rich elected officials that have their own Cadillac Plan of health insurance to do the right thing and expand Medicare so that individuals with mental illnesses can work at jobs without risking losing their government health benefits.
If you live at home when you're a young adult you have little or no pressing expenses so can afford to work at a job instead of collecting SSI. Your parent's health insurance plan or the Affordable Care Act might give you coverage until you're 26 like my health insurance would if I had a kid.
This is a good compromise because if you get diagnosed with schizophrenia when you're in your late teens or early twenties it's not impossible that with evidence-based treatment you'll be able to find competitive employment by the time you're 26.
This is a win-win for everyone.
我将提供一个声明：我要告诉你我自己的母亲不想让我收集SSI和亲眼目睹的我是如何沿着第二天节目串成可疑的好处。我的妈妈是我最凶猛的盟友踢我在开机找工作。
已经一去不复返诊断患有精神分裂症的个体被转移到组装笔在庇护工场即使我们中的一些有大学学位的日子。
在获取证据为基础的治疗要在搜索中的工作做好准备，你成功就业的铰链。获得这种待遇，当你研究你的选择，并大声讲出你的治疗小组自己的目标寻找工作是完全可能的。
IToday you can absolutely live life well even though you have schizophrenia. You can work at a job and you can live independently.
You can live the life of your dreams and don't have to settle for less.
