Schizophrenia sufferers' 'job fears'

Nearly two-thirds of adults in the UK would keep schizophrenia hidden from their employer if they were diagnosed, a survey suggests.

The research, published by the charity Rethink Mental Illness, claims only 35% of people would be open with their boss if they had the illness.

The online YouGov poll of more than 2,000 adults also says one in four (26%) of people wouldn't tell a friend.

Jazmin Chatelier started to suffer from schizophrenia when she was aged 22. Here she tells Newsbeat's Anthony Baxter about some of her symptoms, and gives advice on how to get help.
