Psychosis is nothing like a badger.

The link below takes you to a great video from a guy who has experienced psychosis. It really helps to explain the condition in a fun way. If we are ever to end the stigma around mental illness and allow people to be open and honest about their mental health then we need to keep talking about it. A student once told me that she did not understand mental illness and it scared her because no one talked about it. We need to talk about our mental health and illness until it becomes a common topic and is no longer a mystery which we fear.
