In this episode, we welcome Brooke Kempf, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, to debunk common myths about schizophrenia and promote a more accurate understanding of the condition. We'll explore misconceptions about the causes and effects of schizophrenia, the impact of socioeconomic status, and the role of genetic and environmental factors. Brooke will share insights on the importance of early and consistent treatment, the benefits of long-acting injectables, and the critical role of psychosocial support.
