Schizophrenia, and an interview with my Mother Part 1 of 3

I was able to sit down with my mom and finally get this interview. This was something I've always planned on doing, and which was also requested by some viewers. This is part 1 of a 3 part interview. My mother shares her journey with me from the onset of schizophrenia unto my unexpected and full recovery. We talk about a lot of different things, from the disbelief of the diagnosis, the fear and doubts she harboured, the cultural stigma of mental illness, the acceptance of the diagnosis, the struggle of a single mother having three children with one in a mental hospital with no hope of recovery and normalcy, and much more. This is for you mothers out there! Carmen, my mother, has been through the "hell" you've also come to know. Know you are not alone, and that it can get better.
