We’re joined by Michelle Hammer, the founder of Schizophrenic NYC, a clothing and lifestyle brand dedicated to spreading awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding schizophrenia. Michelle shares her personal journey of being diagnosed, what her schizophrenic symptoms were, and how she navigated paranoia and hallucinations. She opens up about the realities of living with schizophrenia, the misconceptions that often surround the disorder, and how her brand is working to change the conversation. We dive deep into education, advocacy, and breaking the stigma—because mental health awareness matters.
