The topic for this episode is mental health and schizophrenia. If you are affected by anything we discuss, please follow up with your healthcare provider. 

We talk with Alex Phillips from Mind in Camden about schizophrenia and hearing voices, focusing on lived experience rather than frightening labels. We explore how people can recover, how families can offer support, and how everyday compassion reduces stigma. 

• Hearing voices as an umbrella for different sensory experiences 
• Why some experiences can feel positive or meaningful 
• Living well and recovery without forcing voices to disappear 
• Stigma in society and responding with a compassionate human approach 
• How the Hidden Disability Sunflower can signal a need for patience 

If you are concerned about any of the subjects discussed in the podcast, please follow up with your healthcare practitioner for support.
