Heart and Soul: My schizophrenia story


Illustration: 123rf.com

My doctors say it’s because of a time of extreme stress, that the brain’s chemicals got imbalanced and caused me to hear voices in my head which were not mine.

I didn’t know what to do. I was unhappy in university and stayed in the hostel until my term was over but I was not studying or attending classes anymore. I was in denial and I didn’t want to go home. When my parents came to take me home, I wouldn’t allow it. They pushed, they pulled, we screamed, I was in pain.
