You are not alone as a mental health consumer living with schizophrenia! In the USA alone, about 2.8 million adults aged 18 or older live with this brain disorder. In Australia, 64,000 people aged 18-64 experience a psychotic illness. Psychosis can make you feel alone, and the associated stigma can make you feel rejected. In my previous blog post, I recommended NAMI, BringChange2Mind, and Schizophrenia and Psychosis Action Alliance as three advocacy groups that would love to hear from you if you live with schizophrenia or are the caregiver of someone who does. I encourage you to write down your experiences. A diary is a wonderful way to support yourself and track what works for you and what doesn’t.
