SCHIZOPHRENIA AWARENESS DAY. END THE STIGMA.

24/05/2025

Today May 24, marks World Schizophrenia Awareness Day for 2025.

Schizophrenia affects over 24 million people worldwide—yet myths and stigma still silence many. Let’s break the myths and embrace the facts:

MYTH: People with schizophrenia have “split personalities.”
FACT: Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that affects thinking, perception, and emotions—not multiple personalities.

MYTH: People with schizophrenia are violent.
FACT: Most are not violent. They're more likely to be victims than perpetrators of violence.

MYTH: Schizophrenia can’t be treated.
FACT: With medication, therapy, and support, many live fulfilling lives.

Here’s how we can help end the stigma:

Learn the facts: Schizophrenia is treatable.

Speak with empathy, not judgment.

Support inclusion and access to care.

Let’s choose understanding over fear. End the stigma. Share the truth.

Tonight LSV join with Julia, Jerry, Kate and their families as they come to terms with the passing of this beautiful soul.

Peter was kind & compassionate. He cared about the plight of the vulnerable and those often 'left behind'. What a trail this gentleman leaves for us to follow. LOUD Silent Voices will forever honor your memory by paying your kindness to us forward. We will honor your memory by showing compassion, by opening doors, by not being afraid to tackle the hard issues. We will honor your memory by supporting the vulnerable in our society.

Rest In Peace Mr. Peter Kandiah. You have left incredible shoes for us to fill...🙏❣️

Did You Know???

Addiction is a complex and chronic brain disease.

Addiction involves a compulsive and often uncontrollable craving for a substance or behaviour despite harmful consequences.

It affects the brain’s reward, motivation, and memory systems, leading to persistent changes in brain structure and function.

Addiction can result from the use of substances such as drugs and alcohol, as well as from engaging in activities like gambling, compulsive internet use, shopping, eating food, and even having s*x or watching p**n.

Addiction is not simply a matter of willpower or moral failing; it is rooted in biological and psychological factors. We have to break the shame and stigma around all addictions in order for people to get the help and support that they need from family, friends and professionals.

Effective treatment often involves addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, and it may require long-term management to prevent relapse and promote recovery.

Understanding addiction as a complex medical condition is important for reducing stigma and ensuring that individuals receive the support and care they need.

If you or a loved one is struggling with any form of addiction, our dedicated and experienced clinical staff is here to support you. Reach out today if you’d like to speak with a therapist about your addiction and recovery journey. We’re here to help you.
