WPR: Why is psychosis still stigmatized in an era of mental health awareness?

On Friday, May 27th 2022, MAPNET’s Dr. Raquelle Mesholam-Gately joined Wisconsin Public Radio for a segment titled “Why is psychosis still stigmatized in an era of mental health awareness?". The description from WPR.org and a link to the recording are included here:

Research has found that schizophrenia and other conditions that cause psychosis carry more stigma than other mental health conditions, like depression. For Mental Health Awareness Month, a researcher explains how stigma harms those who experience psychosis. Then, we hear from a leader of a group that provides peer-to-peer support for those who experience hallucinations.
