This week, Fay Bjayou, founder of @MentalWealth_me sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, a renowned, award-winning, psychiatrist and researcher who specializes in schizophrenia and related psychoses.
The interview clarifies the complexities and negative stereotypes that often surround the condition. Dr. Lieberman discusses early warning signs, symptoms and the different high-risk genes that make people more vulnerable to the development of schizophrenia. We explore early treatment options and efficacy, and the impact our lifestyle has on the disorder. This episode offers valuable information and guidance for families, caregivers and individuals diagnosed with the condition.
