This week we studied the mental disorder Schizophrenia. The general public and even health professionals tend to hold a stereotyped image of those with schizophrenia, and those living with schizophrenia are often faced with considerable stigma and are frequently misrepresented in the media.

For Your Initial Post

Find an image of how schizophrenia is depicted in our society (in the movies, on TV, in the news), and post the example on this discussion board. Do not just provide a link or describe it. You must embed an image and share your thoughts on what messages your example sends about people with schizophrenia. For more information on how to add the image, see the “How do I embed an image in a discussion replyLinks to an external site. page from Canvas
