Schizophrenia is indisputably one of the most stigmatized and poorly understood mental illnesses. Approximately 3.2 million people live with schizophrenia in the U.S., which can be triggered by a combination of genetics and environment. It distorts the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others. People with schizophrenia experience psychosis, an experience where a person can’t tell what’s real from what’s imagined, they may lose touch with their reality, engage in strange behavior. It is an extremely challenging condition to live with, but recovery is possible. A wonderful example of the brilliance of some people living with schizophrenia is Nobel Prize Winner John Nash. Elyn Saks, a Yale Law School Graduate and Professor at the USC is an inspiring example of the possibilities of living with schizophrenia (TED Talk: bit.ly/2ZHDCAZ). Please stand up for, support people living with schizophrenia – too few people do, sadly.
