Listen "Behind the Mask: Understanding Psychosis and its Stigmas "
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textAs someone living with paranoid schizophrenia, I, Diana Dirkby, offer a firsthand account of the often misunderstood world of psychosis and the stigmas associated with it, for example stemming from misrepresentations in the media. Join me as we travel together through my experiences, exploring the complexities of schizophrenia and psychosis and how they contribute to feelings of social isolation and rejection.We confront the prejudices faced by individuals with schizophrenia, prejudices that are often born out of fear and misunderstanding. Drawing from my experiences and those of my mother's life, we aim to challenge these stigmas and advocate for a shift in societal attitudes towards mental health. Tune in as we encourage openness and acceptance and invite you to venture further into our world with our book, "The Overlife, a Tale of Schizophrenia." Let's challenge the fear, break down the barriers, and foster compassion and understanding.#schizophrenia #psychosis #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #fightthestigma #family #relationshipsPastime With Good Company by King Henry VIII, played by The Chestnut Brass Company Pastime With Good Company, composed by King Henry VIII, played by The Chestnut Brass Company
