Sorry Everyone! I forgot to attach the link the previous post...
But here is a link to a youtube video of a short interview with a woman named Yvonne suffering from Schizo-Affective disorder and how stigmas affected the way she was treated by others.

What do you think? Is it more poignant to hear it first-hand from someone who was excluded and feared by her friends and family? Why or why not?

I liked this video because it seems very honest and upfront about how mental illness has affected her life, but it also is proactive because it gives suggestions for how to help. I think that often people who know someone with mental illness do not know how to help or how to react, especially if they do not understand how the mental illness is affecting the person they care for. Also, people with mental illness may not be able to ask for what they need effectively or even know what might help. I do think that it is more poignant to hear a story first hand than to read facts or professional opinion, although both are necessary.

I completely agree! I felt like everything I read started to make sense after watching her speak about it. It begs the question too, how do we make these stories and accounts more available to society to help bring awareness to the topic? Can we show things like this in schools? In after-school programs? During special programs? On TV? etc. etc.
