BC Schizophrenia Society is running their #BustAMythBC contest again this year, 2022!
To mark #MentalillnessMay, they called out to people with lived experience of psychosis, including schizophrenia, to create some content.
I participated in 2020, and now again nednednerB the Schizophrenic is here for #schizophreniafacts and to #smashstigma

Transcript:
"Schizophrenics cannot take self responsibility
How does ableism take agency away from people who experience psychosis?
Sure, sometimes people cannot control many behaviours, that's instinct, habit, and so on.
However, to assume a diagnosis means a person is no longer responsible would be making a poor choice.
Really, some symptoms are sudden, involuntary, and hard to predict. W
e also have responsible agency as human beings.
If I am experiencing technical difficulties, maybe I could do a reboot, go to sleep, or go home and charge. 
Oh that's what to do with my phone. 
If I am having trouble, just tell me do to the same.
Thank you BC Schizohrenia Society.
Bust A Myth."
