03 - Identity & How it Changes in Relation to a Psychological Disorder (Schizophrenia, PTSD)

03 - On this pod we discuss identity and how it changes when someone develops schizophrenia or when they are traumatised and develops Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. We talk about the ways identity can change and how this can be related to symptoms/outcome. We have a pretty in-depth discussion that should be of interest to anyone who knows someone with schizophrenia or who has been traumatised, or if you have worked with anyone experiencing these problems. We finish up with our segment 'things we came across'. 

The sound levels are a little off in this one - we got a second mic and in the excitement of setting it up we didn't adjust the levels properly.
