National Schizophrenia Awareness Day
Schizophrenia is surrounded by myths, fear, and misinformation. That needs to change.
On National Schizophrenia Awareness Day, we’re answering the questions people are already asking online: no judgement, just honest answers.
Stigma starts with misinformation, but together, we can stop it. Every statistic is a real person, and schizophrenia never defines who they are. By sharing the truth, you help challenge stigma and change lives.
Whether you’re learning for the first time or living with schizophrenia, this is your moment to get involved, share your story, and help reset the narrative.
Let’s make 25 July 2026 a turning point.
