Life After Psychosis | Conversations Over Coffee

Published 2022-03-05
On our last episode of Conversations Over Coffee for season 2 we discuss what it's like to live with a mental illness and how our special guest Debrae overcame having suffered from an episode of psychosis.

Debrae opens up about the condition and how it affected the way her brain processed information. She delves deep into how she lost touch with reality all of which was triggered by extreme stress and a traumatic experience.

Join us as we learn about Debrae's experience during her period of having psychosis, what she found disturbing and how her family and friends where the pillar of strength that helped her overcome and get back to having good mental health.

Debrae has written a book title Metamorhosis, its her debut collection from Deborah 'Debrae' Ojelade- Akintonde, and is a consolidation of written
material that offers insight into her real-life experiences of trauma, depression, heartbreak, and emotional turmoil.

    Psychosis : human response to extreme distress. See Dialogue Cures for Psychotic Problems with Jaakko Seikkula.

    This made me cry 😭, thank you for sharing your story. I have been through something similar and my mom was supportive but from another continent, it’s difficult when you don’t have a huge support system. ❤

    I was diagnosed with schizzoaffective disorder back in 2016 psychosis is a sicko im glad that now more than ever the stigma surrounding mental illnesses is slowly changing for the better, people are becoming more educated on it and more and more people are feeling safe and comfortable to speak up about their own struggles humanity still has a long way to go but I have noticed a big shift in this area when it comes to the stigma alot of it is thanks to social media and that fact that it is easier for people to connect to eachother and spread knowledge with the power of technology
  • @theehardpill
