In this video, I discuss some of my biggest fears about living with schizophrenia. Accepting my diagnosis has not been an easy process, and it is an ongoing one, but talking about my fears and apprehensions has helped me along with self acceptance.
There are very real concerns around what living with an illness like schizophrenia entails, and so I hope to discuss some of these fears and concerns and to shed light on them as someone living with the illness.
