- Michelle Cyca with BC Schizophrenia Society interviews me about my videos for the "Bust A Schizophrenia Myth" contest. Telling my mental health story, we also discuss mental health stigma and mental health education.
May 24 2020 was World Schizophrenia Awareness Day so we're shining the spotlight on #SchizophreniaFacts and asking how we can #SmashStigma.
BC Schizophrenia Society aims to raise mental health awareness. Attempting to ease the suffering in silence of millions with the condition, we're trying together to defeat stereotypes and build strength through adversity.
Thanks BCSS for reaching out to have this interview and supporting me to record and publish it!

A lot of my early videos were made when I was unwell or less well. Healing and recovery are a significant journey.

Did ya share it? Did ya, did ya? On your wall? On a feed? On them all, can you heed?
I am one very proud mother. I learn from you Brenden all the time and it is great to see you have this opportunity to share your experiences and knowledge. I was shouting at the screen show her your book! ❤
Thank you so much
Enjoying this a lot. Thanks to you both! Also, conceptualizing stereotypes as our own internal mental stereotypy is really clever. As always, one of the smartest channels on CZcams.
Thank you so much! I lucked out to see your unedited comment about enjoying the interview so far in a new comment notification that YT sent to me. 😎
That's quite a compliment.. I'm glad you appreciate my efforts to do well!
nednednerB the Schizophrenic Haha, the original “part of the way in but enjoying this so far” felt a little too much like I’d appointed myself CZcams Critic in Residence
Thanks Brenden!! So great to talk to you.
