And what we wanted to do was sort out how much of this has to do with schizophrenia and how much of it is domestic violence or family-based.
What happens when you mix cultural understanding with mental health treatment? In this thought-provoking episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Sue E. Estroff, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Social Medicine at UNC Chapel Hill. Dr. Estroff brings her extensive research on chronic illness, disability, and the sociocultural aspects of psychiatric disorders to the table.
The conversation dives deep into how cultural perspectives shape our understanding of psychosis and the importance of patient-centered care. Dr. Estroff discusses the pitfalls of over-prescribing antipsychotic medications and advocates for more humane, non-destructive treatment options. She also sheds light on the critical psychiatry movement and the rise of user advocates challenging traditional mental healthcare approaches. One key takeaway from Dr. Estroff is the importance of listening to those with mental illness and valuing their unique experiences.
As she puts it, 'Part of who I am is something to be valued, not something erased'. This episode offers a fresh perspective on mental health recovery and is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of psychosis through a cultural lens.
