“Sometimes I feel like I’m at war with myself. I feel like a prisoner trapped in my own skin.”
Bethany Boik had many demons and many false diagnoses that affected nearly every moment of her life. She suffered through a traumatic childhood and grappled with confusing, overwhelming symptoms for years before finally being diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder.
In this episode, Ms. Boik shares the daily struggle of living with such a complex and often misunderstood mental health issue. She explains how she’s learned to cope with the effects of Schizoaffective Disorder and its stigma and offers advice for others, particularly adolescents, who are learning to live with the disorder.
