5: Schizophrenia ... NOT a split personality‪!‬ Mindhunting: Journeys in Forensic Psychiatry

    • Saúde mental

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness that can intersect with forensic psychiatry, but what is it? What are the myths and what are the realities? What are the real symptoms, their neurobiology and why might they increase the risk of harm? Come and let's chat about it! And, of course, in pop culture let me tell you about an amazing novel from the 1990s that so articulately describes this illness. (Trigger warning: description of violent crime).
