Schizophrenia and Sleep

One thing that is present on nearly any video on Kody and Kit’s social channels is all things anti-psychiatry. Whether it’s being anti-medication or anti-psychiatry as a whole, it causes issues and often keeps some poeple from not getting the help they need when it comes to severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. So this week, join in as Kody and Kit dive into their opinions on anti-psychiatry and why it might be a little… understandable given just how psychiatry started.Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think!Our Merch!!!!https://www.rayguncustom.com/collections/kody-co-llc/products/988-help-is-one-call-away-shirtFollow the podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify: we are Schiz and Giggles on both platformsYouTube is @schizandgiggles for the video version of the podcastWe are on Instagram and TikTok at the same handleEmail: [email protected] Kody!YouTube: @schizophrenichippieTikTok, Instagram, Facebook: schizophrenichippieFollow Kit!YouTube: @schizokitzoInstagram, TikTok, Facebook: schizokitzo#schizophrenia #schizoaffective #podcast #schizandgiggles #psychiatry #antipsychiatry

In 2002, Japan changed “schizophrenia” to “Integration disorder” and they claim it drastically helped reduce stigma…. but should this be done elsewhere? Maybe in the United States? This week on the podcast, Kody and Kit talk about just that: should “schizophrenia” be changed to something else? It’s quite the argument either way and Kody and Kit state their own opinions on the matter.
