What to know

I have a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and I am telling my story to break down stereotypes about the diagnosis. As I say; those of us with mental illness are not contagious, so we don't need to be so afraid of it. What am I telling you about? On my city walk, you will hear about my experiences as a psychiatric patient, which I first became when I was 17. At that time, there was great shame associated with being a psychiatric patient, and it was difficult for me to handle and accept that I had become one. - Date: Saturday 3 October 2026 - Time: 11:00–12:30 - Venue: Herkules Springvandet, Vesterbros Torv - Address: Vesterbrogade 47F, Copenhagen V, Denmark
