• Self-Awareness: A blessing or a curse?

This episode is about the balance when it comes to treating mental illness, and how maybe, just maybe, there’s a little loss there as well.Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think!YouTube is @schizandgiggles for the video version of the podcast #schizophrenia #schizoaffective #mentalhealthdisorders #mentalhealth #mentalhealthadvocate #podcast #selfawareness
