Episode Synopsis
Send us a textUnmasking and debunking the fears surrounding those living with Paranoid Schizophrenia, it's time to break down the stigma! I'm Diana Derpy and living with this complex mental disorder is my reality, just as it was for my mother. Join me, as I navigate through the intricate labyrinth of Schizophrenia; from hallucinations and paranoia to the misfiring in the brain that distorts reality. Equipped with knowledge from the National Institute of Mental Health and the psychiatry.org website, I aim to shed light on a misunderstood state of mind. Let's challenge the misconception that psychosis equates to dangerous behavior.Psychosis, a term more often than not misused by popular media, has erroneously become synonymous with danger. This episode seeks to rectify this wrongful portrayal, taking you through my personal journey and experiences. I also discuss the wide array of symptoms associated with Schizophrenia, offering an in-depth understanding of this mental illness. Grounded in my own reality, I hope my shared struggle helps you understand that a majority of those experiencing psychosis pose no threat to others. Let's learn, unlearn, and relearn together, as we dismantle the enduring stigma that surrounds mental health.#mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #schizophrenia #schizoaffective #mentalillness #psychosis #depressionsawareness #fictionwriting #family #relationships #nomorestigma #fightthestigmaofmentalillness #letstalk #schizophreniaawareness #mentalillnessrecovery #mentalillnesstreatment #motherdaughter #brainhealthPastime 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
