People with schizophrenia need help overcoming its stigma

James Box I recently moved to Oklahoma City from Cushing. I am a musician who also happens to have schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I was diagnosed as being on the schizophrenia spectrum when I was 31. I am now almost 35.  Schizophrenia has positive, negative and cognitive symptoms, while the symptoms of bipolar disorder include mania and depression. Even with all of the medication that I take, the negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia never go away. Because of this, I have a very hard time functioning in society. The last time I played a show was 10 years ago. Since then, I have more or less stayed inside of my residence at all times. If it wasn t for my family, I would be homeless or dead. 

New Coloring Books Offer Opportunity To Teach Oklahoma Kids About Mental Health

By: Matt Rahn TULSA, Oklahoma - The Mental Health Association Oklahoma is working on a fun and engaging way to teach kids about mental health. They hope something good can come from a coloring book. May is Mental Health Awareness month, so Mental Health Association Oklahoma is using that as an opportunity to teach young kids the importance of expressing their feelings. In their new coloring book, kids and their parents can take baby steps when starting a conversation about mental health. CEO Terri White said it’s important to destigmatize talking about mental illness.  It s an opportunity for that adult in their life to talk to them about what it means to have a healthy brain and it can also be a chance to equip the child with the ability to recognize and communicate their feelings, White said.
