Rethinking schizophrenia: putting the human experience centre stage

“Imagine your thoughts are not yours anymore. It’s not imaginable for most people, but a daily reality for most people with schizophrenia,” says Dr Clara Humpston in this fascinating YorkTalk on this often misunderstood condition.

Clara, a cognitive neuropsychiatry researcher in the Department of Psychology, explores symptoms that frequently challenge, if not destroy, our everyday notions of reality and even our sense of self. Her work draws on the latest research into the causes and symptoms of schizophrenia that puts the lived experiences of patients centre stage.
