Though it affects less than 1% of the world's population, schizophrenia is one of the most well-known brain disorders. It is also highly misunderstood. Claire Merydith talks with Dr. Sam Murray and Lindsay Hoffman of Central Oregon's EASA program. EASA helps young people and their families navigate schizophrenia and first episode psychosis. Hoffman and Murray provide insight into what it really means to live with schizophrenia, and how we can find support.
