Schizophrenia awareness: myth vs. fact 🧠
❌ Myth: OT is just for physical injuries or children.
✅ Fact: Occupational therapy plays a huge role in mental health—including schizophrenia. We focus on the daily stuff that helps people live well.
❌ Myth: Treatment is only about medication.
✅ Fact: Daily living skills, routines, and meaningful activities are just as important for stability and quality of life. OT helps build those foundations.
❌ Myth: Independence isn't possible.
✅ Fact: With the right strategies and support, individuals build confidence in their daily lives every single day. Small steps lead to big wins.
This week, we stand with those living with schizophrenia and the families who support them. 💛
