Welcome to Hot Topics! Gabrielle Crichlow continues the conversation with guest Sarah Gallup about schizophrenia, with more emphasis on the history of the illness and its portrayal in movies and television.

Gabrielle Crichlow and Sarah Gallop discuss schizophrenia, its history, and portrayal in pop culture. They highlight the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and its recognition for centuries, dating back to the Ancient Egyptians. They discuss the work of Doctor Emil Kraepelin and Swiss psychiatrist Doctor Eugen Bleuler, who coined the term schizophrenia and described its positive and negative symptoms. The ladies also discuss the different types of schizophrenia recognized in the DSM-V-TR. They note that schizophrenia is often confused with dissociative identity disorder in pop culture, perpetuating confusion. Sarah and Gabrielle also discuss the importance of sharing stories of individuals with mental illness who have succeeded in life to help reduce stigma and provide hope for those struggling with mental illness. Sarah notes that the false narrative of individuals with schizophrenia being serial killers or mass murderers is not true. She emphasizes that individuals with schizophrenia are not necessarily bad people and that many are family-oriented and have goals. This episode is important as it sheds light on the topic of schizophrenia and provides information on how to approach situations involving individuals with schizophrenia.
