Gisselle, 22.


I want to see more characters with schizophrenia who are not violent, because in real life most of us are not.

I want to see more characters with schizophrenia who are not hallucinating visually, because in real life most of us don't.

I want to see more characters with schizophrenia who are trying to live normal lives, because most of us still have to work and support ourselves.

I want to see more characters with schizophrenia who are struggling to fight for their rights, because in real life we are often neglected and put aside by our governments and health care systems.

I want to see more characters with schizophrenia who have never taken any drugs or experienced any kind of trauma, because there is often no correlation.

I want to see more characters with schizophrenia because I want the stigma to end.
