Maya is a 21-year-old who has recently moved back in with her parents after failing her final university exams and losing her part-time job. Her fraternal twin sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia last year. Maya describes her domestic environment as highly stressful; her mother is often emotionally distant and cold, yet constantly monitors Maya's daily routine with suffocating over-protectiveness, whilst her father frequently criticises her choices. Maya's GP suspects that Maya is beginning to show prodromal symptoms of schizophrenia.
