Overcoming Social Stigma -- Schizophrenia

[RawShawk]

I live with Sz, and I can relate to my friends not making much time to stop by.

But you know what, at least I have my wife and immediate family members who treat me no differently. So I have a fair bit of strong support.Life throws you a lot well or otherwise. I'll go easy on my ftriends tho, most would be offended if I said they don't stop in because of my illness. Could be that, or something I'm not seeing. 'd love a day people were less afraid of the mental illness spectre.

I hade bipolar disorder before and my tutors told me that Im severely ill and have to see a docto. I believed them and felt ashamed of myself and even more frustrated thinking about the mood swings. They prescribed me powerful antidepressants which destroyed my brain. They took away my strong emotions my inspiration, the gift that God gave me. Now Im just an empty shell without a soul. Never take any drugs! You see the world clearer then other people

People with schisophrenia and bipolar disorder arenaturally intellingent . Their brains are more advanced and thats why they experiance strong emotions and have higher perseption of world. But ther is always this propaganda from sociaty from , psychaitry that people in this condition are mentally ill they feel ashamed . But there is nothing to be ashamed of because the fact is that people like this have higher intellectual level

Awesome PSA (Y)

Kind of coincidental too, cuz you call yourselves SOS.

I'm part of an SOS group at my school too, following the same footsteps,

except... instead of 'save our schizophrenics', we're 'stomp out stigma (against mental illness'.

I guess, same difference, if we're aiming to erase this stigma :D

Awesome job !! :D

I really do with this would be seen by more people. This is what sompanies like psycho donut's or hollywood media can not get through their heads, they're promoting this kind of behaviour. People do not see schizophrenics as human but more as monsters, the myth needs to be destroyed.
