Common Myths Regarding Schizophrenia

In this video, schizophrenic YouTuber nednednerB describes and rejects some usual suspects, specifically four examples of everyday misconceptions about schizophrenia (SZ).

Sometimes stigma, suppression, rejection, stereotypes, and more influence how people with schizophrenia are treated, mistreated, or disabled by other members of society.

If you have the wrong idea about someone and then act upon it, you are liable to misunderstand or harm that other person entirely accidentally but perhaps significantly. That's why these myths should be busted. Otherwise they will spread to everyone's detriment.

Myth one: "SZ is very rare."
Myth two: "Schizophrenics are dangerous."
Myth three: "SZ is the same as split personality."
Myth four: "SZ is untreatable."
