This week on the podcast, Kody and Kit are joined by Stephen Lathrop from Surviving Schizophrenia. Stephen was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 12 and it drastically altered the course of his life. However, he decided to become a mental health advocate and turn his experience with schizophrenia into something that could help people. Today we talk about his resilience, and how he copes with his condition, to show that someone can have childhood-onset schizophrenia and still live a great life!We hope you love this episode as much as we loved filming it!Follow Stephen!YouTube: @survivingschizophreniaInstagram: survivingschizophreniaFollow the podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify: we are Schiz and Giggles on both platformsYouTube is @schizandgiggles for the video version of the podcastWe are on Instagram and TikTok at the same handleEmail: [email protected] Kody!YouTube: @schizophrenichippieTikTok, Instagram, Facebook: schizophrenichippieFollow Kit!YouTube: @schizokitzoInstagram, TikTok, Facebook: schizokitzo#schizophrenia #schizoaffective #mentalhealthdisorders #mentalhealth #mentalhealthadvocate #podcast

One of the toughest questions to answer when it comes to being mentally ill—-whether it’s anxiety and depression or schizophrenia—is when to tell others about it: loved ones, friends, and partners.So, this week on the podcast Kody (a schizophrenia advocate) and Kit (a schizoaffective advocate) talk about their differing perspectives on the matter. Both sides make good points, and there are pros and cons to everything. But anyways, enjoy the episode and let us know what you think!#schizophrenia #schizoaffective #mentalhealthdisorders #mentalhealth #mentalhealthadvocate #podcast

One thing that’s encouraged when it comes to mental illnesses—especially severe ones like schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder—is self-awareness. But did you know that self-awareness in this context can be both a blessing and a curse? So, this week on the podcast, Kody and Kit tackle this dialectic and what it means for each of them. 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
