On the eve of World Schizophrenia Day 2021, let's pledge to increase awareness about the disorder and educate people about the challenges faced by the patients.
The word Schizophrenia is over a century old, yet it makes many people uneasy. Schizophrenia comes from the Greek roots schizo (split) and phrene (mind) to describe the fragmented thinking of people with the disorder.
The first question that will come to mind is "does the blues exist?" Indeed, it does. It's as real as our other emotions and feelings.
Sooner or later, everyone gets the blues. Feeling sadness, melancholic, or grief when you go through challenging life experience is part of being human. And most of the time, you can continue to function. You know that in time you will bounce back, and you do.
