Hi there,
Thank you for continuing to be a part of the Health Storylines community. We wanted to let you know that today is World Schizophrenia Day! Today is a day to learn more about schizophrenia and challenge the stigma surrounding mental illness together.
According to the World Health Organization, schizophrenia affects more than 21 million people worldwide. Even though it affects so many, it is still a widely misunderstood condition.
Schizophrenia is a complex condition that will affect different people in different ways. This can make it difficult for others to understand, which contributes to the stigma. Awareness days like today are an opportunity to educate and to help make the world a more inclusive place.
It only takes one person to make a difference in someone’s life. To reach out to your family and friends and start the conversation today, visit your Circle of Support:
