Here is my latest blog post on Psych Central. The post is about the misuse of the word schizophrenia by politicians and doctors. Warning, the subject matter can raise your blood pressure!
This is a post I made to Psych Central earlier in the week. It has almost the exact opposite message as the first one I posted, so if you need a little hope, here it is!
Here is a link to my latest article on The Mighty. The article is about not identifying too much with a label of “mentally ill.”
Wonderful articles!

Ben Carson’s comment made me very upset as well. I was so mad I decided to write an article about it and submit it to a few newspapers. That is the first time I ever did that. I doubt I will hear back, but boy was I angry.

Great article on psych central- I have a person in my life who I am very close who has schizophrenia and I too am amazed at the stigma attached to this illness.I have signed up to do a 6 week course on ‘Hearing voices’ to educate myself. That is all people need to do [ educate themselves – People are lazy or stupid!

Thanks for reading my article on Psych Central! Is the six week class online? If it is online do you have a link to it that I can look at? Thanks! 🙂

They were all great articles! That is terrible what Dr. Ben Carson said! I agree, we shouldn’t identify ourselves as our mental illness. That’s awfully hard to do when you are first diagnosed. I guess because it is at the forefront of our minds. I’m glad that your nephew had a teachable moment and the nurse took the opportunity to teach.
