“Schizophrenia - better than silence” is a poem by Dr. Isioma Nwokolo, based on the experiences she has heard from a number of her past Schizophrenic clients.

The poem calls to light the struggle of those who live with the condition and the loneliness that can come to the forefront when their medication stops the voices they have come to be used to and, in essence, destroys the reality they know to be true. At times like these, it is incredibly important for family, friends and the community around the individual with Schizophrenia to support them even more.
