Today is World Mental Health Day: Living with Schizophrenia
Today is World Mental Health Day!
Every year on October 10, World Mental Health Day helps raise awareness of mental illness around the world and mobilizes efforts in support of mental health. The theme of World Mental Health Day 2014 is Living with Schizophrenia – a mental illness that affects 1% of the population.
At St. Joe’s, we asked some of the staff from our [Schizophrenia Services] to share some common myths about schizophrenia and help dispel them by sharing some facts about schizophrenia.
