These symptoms had been emerging for many months, but eventually got severe enough after about 8 months to require hospitalization. Now, Marnie is out and living in a group home in which she receives extra support and monitoring, as well as transportation to a job.

When Marnie lives at the group home, she is in the phase of schizophrenia.
