As a community, we want to highlight and share support of podcasts that have offered their help in challenging the stigma around schizophrenia and serious mental illness. We may not endorse everything is that is said by the following podcasts, but did want to share some of the ones that are also helping us spread our messages around schizophrenia and serious mental illness.

Pop Psych 101 — In an effort to educate and normalize, two therapists, Ryan Engelstad and Hayley Roberts, talk candidly about mental health and illness through the lens of movies, music, books, and TV. Common pop culture mental health tropes are analyzed, and the accuracy of their portrayals are in question, for better or worse. PopPsych can be raw and real, and very serious; it can also be very funny. If we really want to normalize the conversation about mental health, then we need to start having real and normal conversations.

Refreshingly Human — Have you grown up around people always telling you what to do or who to be? Refreshingly Human is a space where we can share the human experience in an honest, open and safe way. I believe that when we strip people of the labels we’ve assumed them to be, we can actually connect with their lives more than we realise. By openly sharing our stories we can find that line of humanity and work towards being Refreshingly Human. We explore a range of topics on a theme by theme basis to find that link of humanity and connect to others just like us. Listen to new episodes every Monday.

Because We Are Strong — A podcast inspired by stories of struggle and strength. A place where you can feel safe enough to share every part of your rare story. The good, the bad, the happy, and anything in between. Many times those in the rare disease community feel isolated from the rest of the world. Rare disease comes with its own set of unique challenges, ones that are hard for the outside world to understand. Through our stories, we can bridge the gap between a lack of knowledge and understanding. Your story has the potential to touch and reach those who can relate and who otherwise feel alone. Together through our struggles, we can show our strength.

APA’s Medical Mind Podcast —A podcast about innovation in mental health care from the APA Division of Education. APA Administration host Ann Thomas interviews APA members and other healthcare professionals about new initiatives in psychiatry.
