Everyone Missed My Schizophrenia Symptoms
In this powerful video, Michelle Hammer opens up about a deeply personal experience: how the adults in her life missed—or outright misunderstood—the signs of her schizophrenia. Instead of receiving empathy or help, her behaviors were dismissed as attention-seeking or deceit.
