Myths In Mental Health Stigma.
Myth 5 - A fact check on discrimination. In actuality, schizophrenia does not affect every population exactly equally. Every group on Earth displays SZ symptoms, but not all evenly.

Namely, there is a larger incidence of SZ in populations such as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color who experience discrimination and oppression. Early and ongoing trauma and abuse contribute to mental illness and symptoms.

It is time to protest police brutality, defund the police violence, and end systemic racism. As a white person, I do what is in my power to support those white people learning around me and uphold marginalized, oppressed voices of BIPOC.

BC Schizophrenia Society is running a campaign to raise awareness about myths and facts regarding schizophrenia.
