The patient might make up stories that they are being mistreated, not being respected, this is more common is schizophrenics who also suffer from personality disorders.

Persons suffering from schizophrenic might also respond to, “cues to leave,” such as seeing a TV show or film about going 'Into the Wild' or running off to Vegas to drink oneself to death. Schizophrenic spend alot time watching TV and certain storylines invite self comparison and also grandiosity,"I can do that,too."  TV may trigger an impulse to move, to search for something the patient sense they are lacking. Mentally impaired individual are easily cued ...

Should Facebook suggest to schizophrenics they join targeted individual groups?
