We talk to a law professor about the potential for changes to gun laws after the most recent shootings in the U.S. Then, mental health advocates join us to discuss the stigmas around psychosis.

  • Why is psychosis still stigmatized in an era of mental health awareness?

    Research has found that schizophrenia and other conditions that cause psychosis carry more stigma than other mental health conditions, like depression. For Mental Health Awareness Month, a researcher explains how stigma harms those who experience psychosis. Then, we hear from a leader of a group that provides peer-to-peer support for those who experience hallucinations.
