This week on the podcast, Kody and Kit have a frank discussion about mental illness, dreams, and how both learned to live with their disorders. Living with a schizophrenia spectrum illness is hard enough, but when dreams aren’t supported, it can be even more difficult. However, as you’ll learn… that’s also not always the case either. So, join Kody (a schizophrenia advocate) and Kit (a schizoaffective disorder advocate) as they talk about two opposing experiences that show that it isn’t just schizophrenia that has a spectrum.Enjoy the episode, and tell us what you think!

Lack of Insight with Schizophrenia
In this episode join Kody and Kit as they explore the concept of insight when it comes to mental illness. A lack of insight, often called anosognosia, is something that a lot of those with schizophrenia spectrum illnesses deal with, especially before they get help. Both Kody (who lives with schizophrenia) and Kit (who lives with schizoaffective disorder) have dealt with anosognosia, but in different ways, which is what this episode is all about!So enjoy this fun exploration of two different experiences and let us know what you think!
