Schizophrenic Man Terrifies Kids at Party
Usually I relegate PSAs to the sidebar, but this one is so good it needs more attention. An anti-stigma message with a very clever twist. This video, like all the PSAs (public service announcements) in my collection, is great for sharing in your blog, Facebook or MySpace profile, and anywhere you can paste embed code or links: help spread the word and fight mental health stigma and discrimination.
EDIT – also check out this talk by Austin Mardon, a person with schizophrenia who shares the effects of stigma on his life.

Are we talking about the person or the illness?
If trying to fight stigma, the title of this post should be “Man with Schizophrenia…”
Thanks, Dr. Wayne. Did you watch the video?
I agree with Dr. Wayne, and it doesn’t matter if I’ve watched the video or not. If the title said “Black Man Terrifies Kids at Party” the problem would be the same.
I suppose the British sarcasm is too high level for some people. If the title of this post was “Man with Schizophrenia”, it would just water down the effect of the video. Why don’t you watch it and then ask yourselves why the video has such a title? It may have something to do with the way people with schizophrenia are often called in the media… The post title itself doesn’t stigmatize anyone.
