Ann Corcoran: Psychosis Isn't a Choice
Send us a text
Ann Corcoran, Executive Director of the National Shattering Silence Coalition, discusses the broken systems that fail those with serious mental illness and their families through discriminatory practices and neglect.
She shares powerful stories of families desperately seeking help for loved ones in psychosis, highlighting how outdated laws and policies create barriers to treatment until tragedy strikes.
• Explaining the difference between stigma and the true barriers to treatment for serious mental illness
• Exploring anosognosia - the neurological inability to recognize one's own illness
• Advocating for Assisted Outpatient Treatment laws to provide early intervention before hospitalization
• Illuminating how prisons have become de facto mental health institutions with 70-90% of inmates having mental illness
• Sharing concrete strategies for families to navigate the mental health and criminal justice systems
• Demonstrating how legislative change requires education and family stories to overcome misinformation
• Explaining how untreated psychosis, not lack of housing, drives many mentally ill individuals to homelessness
• Highlighting the cost savings ($15+ million in one county) when proper treatment replaces incarceration
