Reflection Through Broken Glass

The mystery of identity formation remains the hot topic of many fields, including biology, psychology and philosophy. Schizophrenia is a neurological disorder with psychological manifestation that are yet to be comprehended by the scientific or theoretical community. Identity formation for those with schizophrenia becomes more challenging with the increased stigmatization they receive from the public and healthcare providers. The research demonstrated that stigmatization against persons with schizophrenia decreases their confidence levels further complicating their recovery.

​

In order to help individuals with schizophrenia, we must provide safe spaces for them to exist without the judgment of others. We must portray their deliberating disease with no glorifications, in its most raw form. We must provide them with a space where they can tell their story in their own words. 

​

Until the image of schizophrenia is changed in others minds, we will keep running into this problem as a society and we will keep further disadvantaging those with the disorder.
