SciShow Psych | What People Get Wrong About Schizophrenia

Image
Episode Title: What People Get Wrong About Schizophrenia Produced by: SciShow Psych Description: This is a re-upload of a previous episode. It was brought to our attention that a portion of the video in which we simulated schizophrenic symptoms for the viewer could potentially be distressing for viewers who really do have schizophrenia. We at SciShow want our educational resources to be accessible by as many people as possible, so we made the decision to replace the previous video with an updated version. Thanks to astute viewer Paula for pointing out this issue to us, and thanks to all our viewers that help us think about the world more complexly! Scientists have learned a great deal about schizophrenia in the past few decades, but public perception of the disorder is still often rooted in outdated myths.
