Voices Off

Georgia has heard voices all her life – the voices of the bullies who tormented her throughout her school years and the voices inside her head, which didn’t have many nice things to say, either. At the age of 17, she suffered a catastrophic psychotic breakdown that resulted in her being hospitalised for seven months and receiving a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia.

Now it’s time for Georgia to use her voice, which she does with candour and humour, to address the misconceptions and stigma associated with schizophrenia. She hopes that sharing what she has learned can help someone embarking on their own complicated conversation with this devastating illness.
