People learn from personal experiences. 1 out of 100 live with schizophrenia and until host Faydra Aldridge's sister was diagnosed with it, she thought it was something that only happened to others. But it isn’t, it's something that happened to and affected her family and affects almost every one of us in some way either directly or indirectly. This episode is a little different as you'll get to be a part of a very real and candid conversation between Faydra and her mother Linda as they revisit the impact of Carissa Lynn's mental illness on her and her family.
