National Schizophrenia Awareness Day - JULY 25 is a UK-based awareness campaign spearheaded by Rethink Mental Illness, a leading mental health charity. The aim of the day is to challenge myths and misconceptions about schizophrenia, while providing accurate information to the public about what the condition is and what it is not.
Schizophrenia affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. Symptoms may include hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking, and emotional withdrawal. Although often portrayed negatively in the media, schizophrenia is a treatable condition, and many people living with it can lead fulfilling lives with the right support and treatment.
This awareness day helps elevate the voices of those with lived experience, supports carers and families, and encourages open conversations about mental health and the realities of living with schizophrenia.
