Question

How important is it for a person with schizophrenic to keep active?

Answer 1

EXTREMELY.

They need to activity to keep balanced.  More so than most people.

Answer 2

use it or lose it

this applies to the physical or to the mental.  

or in words of one syllable,  move and think or you might lose

the power to do so.

Answer 3

It is important for all people to be active.  Staying on their meds would be more important, but I would think that regular exercise would help schizophrenics maintain some balance in their lives.

Answer 4

VERY.  When  a person with mental illness works out or stays active, the body gets more oxygen to the brain and releases good hormones.  This helps a lot.
