Is schizophrenia just about hearing voices? (spoiler alert, it isn't!)

Episode 3, Season 1 of It’s All Mental podcast is out now! 🎙️

In this episode, Louise, Service Manager in one of our 24-hour specialist adult care services, and Adam, Chief Executive at Everyturn talk about schizophrenia, and the many misconceptions that often surround the condition.

Schizophrenia is a complicated mental health condition, and can affect many aspects of your thoughts and emotions. It can look and feel different for everyone. Sadly, schizophrenia is still very misunderstood and stigmatised.

Why do I find it so difficult to fall asleep? 💤

Getting the right amount of quality sleep is really important for our mental and physical health, although we know it’s not always easy.

Insomnia is a type of sleep disorder, which can look like:

🥱 Having trouble falling asleep
🌙 Waking up a lot through the night
🌅 Waking up early and not being able to fall back asleep
🪫 Not feeling refreshed or rested after waking up
💭 Finding it hard to concentrate because of tiredness
💥 Feeling irritable
