Maybe a cat or small dog can be helpful. It's been shown that not only the companionship but also the responsibility of caring for another living thing can help alleviate symptoms. A dog in particular can also be a reality check for visual and auditory hallucinations, I've read of others with schizophrenia validating their reality by checking their dogs reactions.

Oh, those are good ideas. I'll think about it. Thank you!
