Respect for Lived Experience With Schizophrenia and Psychosis Featuring Dr. Ken Duckworth

National Alliance on Mental Illness Season 1 Episode 61

In 2023, NAMI produced the Schizophrenia and Psychosis Lexicon Guide. In this episode, NAMI CEO Dan Gillison, Jr. is joined by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ken Duckworth to explore why the language we use to talk about schizophrenia and psychosis matters. Throughout their conversation, listeners will learn about the impact using empathetic language can benefit individuals living with schizophrenia and psychosis, as well as how this guide can support the cultural shift away from mental health stigmas.
