The Brain Grave Episode 02: Schizophrenia
Imagine having difficulty distinguishing reality from what is occurring inside your head. Imagine not knowing and then becoming paranoid over what the hallucinations are telling you. It is often something incomprehensible for most people and misunderstood.
Schizophrenia is a complicated and severe mental health illness that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Due to multifaceted stigma, persons living with mental illness often struggle with their own internal, societal and institutional stigma which can lead to isolation, exacerbation of illness and poor outcomes.
Join me today while we discuss schizophrenia and the difficulties with stigma and how it can affect treatment and quality of life.
