Have you ever met someone suffering from schizophrenia?

I have, they can't even function, nor are they coherent enough to make up a
story.

Can't you read?
I told you that I personally know several people who have
schizophrenia, not just "met" them.

(And to say they are "suffering" from it is a sign that you are
incredibly ignorant on this matter)

Like all people, there is a range of presentations, from no external
symptoms, up to those who find it totally incapaciting.
That you have extrapolated from one or two people that you have merely
"met", and extend that experience to all shizophrenics, marks you as
more ignorant than I had thought.

You may want to LOTS of reading first, then get out a bit, before you
reply.
