What are the first words that comes to mind when you think about Schizophrenia?
Some of those may include: crazy, psycho, or dangerous.
Often, someone with schizophrenia is portrayed in the media and through film and television as dangerous or violent, however, this is not the case. A person who is affected by schizophrenia is not more dangerous than anyone else
Most of us are not really aware of what Schizophrenia all entails.
Schizophrenia is an example of a thought disorder, characterized by a history of acute psychosis and chronic deterioration of functioning, and affecting thinking, perception, mood and behaviour.
So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Schizophrenia Awareness Weekend:
There are still many misconceptions about schizophrenia, and it continues to be a mental health challenge that is rarely spoken about.
These misconceptions lead to further stigma, prejudice and discrimination.
Stigma is perhaps the biggest barrier to mental health care. This stigma can prevent people from getting hired, promoted or keeping a job, getting proper health care, feeling loved, needed and accepted, contributing to communities or feeling productive.
Find ways to
- Educate yourself about all mental health challenges and issues
- Foster a healthy workplace environment
- Emphasize abilities, not limitations
It is everyone's responsibility to reduce the stigma, prejudice and discrimination associated with mental illness. Education and understanding are key.
