Till December 2011 (at the time of referral), he had changed at least three jobs each time he had almost similar complaints of adjustment problems with the job hours and colleagues. He himself and treating psychiatrist felt he con not work even though they felt that work had a very important role not only for his socio-occupational life but also to recover fully from schizophrenia. It was also evident that he has been on regular psychiatric treatment and had fluctuation in symptoms whenever he felt better for some time, joint a job but after joining he had similar problem so he had to leave. He uses to feel very much stigmatized (see Table 2; Fig. 3), at the time blamed God or own luck for the illness and try to keep isolated him from other. Sometimes he used to feel tired without doing any work. Keeping all these sometimes, he had difficulties in sustaining motivation for work and selfsteam. He was found irregular in daily routine e.g. getting up very late, doing nothing hours in a day having minimal interaction with others and not participating in any social event. He was doing a volunteer job in a contraction company but was very irregular. He uses to think he should not work or go out until getting well. At times, he felt because he is taking medicines he was not fit for any work. Even his father supported his views on this and told him several times not to worry about the job; he ensured that without working also he will get sufficient money for his needs. Whenever anyone asked anything or commented negatively about his work he uses to take very negatively and felt because of his illness he was treated like that. All these could be explained by negative symptoms and disengagement coping (e.g., avoidance) to deal with stigma.
