Bethany’s Patient Story: Schizophrenia

In this video, Bethany from Ohio shares her health journey with schizophrenia and depression, and side effects from going off her medication. She spent a year trying different anti-psychotic medications. “I needed to learn that it was actually a chemical imbalance. I didn’t understand that this medication would actually heal the tissue of my brain, and I had no idea that a medication could help you live a better life…. Doctors should never give up on their patients.”

This recording was produced as part of a continuing pharmacy education activity entitled, Advancing Schizophrenia Management Strategies in the Patient Journey: Treatment Innovations, Adherence, and Health Outcomes, funded by an independent medical education grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb.
