About this listen

Forget modern labels and clinical definitions. For centuries, schizophrenia was seen as possession, madness, divine punishment, or moral failure. Those who lived with it were feared, confined, silenced, or misunderstood long before science tried to explain their experiences. Treatments shifted from superstition to medicine, often painfully and slowly. A calm story about an illness shaped as much by society and fear as by biology.
