But even though they call it that, I just say “I hear voices, bad voices in my head”, but they call it schizophrenic”. (Glendora, participant) ! "#!! ! Abstract Schizophrenia has long been a contested and controversial psychiatric diagnosis. Over the last six decades, research has consistently demonstrated that Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), specifically people of Black African and/or Black Caribbean descent in the United Kingdom (UK) are more likely to face mental health inequalities and be diagnosed with schizophrenia in comparison to other ethnic groups (Fernando, 2002; 2008; 2010; Read & Dillon, 2013b; Nazroo, 2020). However there has been a paucity in research into the lived experience of receiving a diagnosis of schizophrenia. This research seeks to contribute to the field of counselling psychology and allied professions by exploring the lived experience of receiving a diagnosis of schizophrenia amongst this specific population. The phenomenon was investigated by adopting Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) (Smith, Flowers & Larkin, 2009). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants and subsequently analysed using IPA. The Six-Stages of Analysis was used (Smith et al., 2009) as a process of interacting with the data within an inductive and iterative cycle (Smith, 2007). The consisted of close interaction between the researcher and the text, using line-by-line analysis of each participant’s transcribed interview (Smith et al., 2009). The findings revealed that participants were engaged in a range of meaning-making processes regarding their experiences relating to the diagnosis. Four super-ordinate themes emerged from the data: ‘Schizophrenia is a form of social control’, ‘Living with schizophrenia is a dynamic sentence’, “A spiritual dimension to this experience” and ‘Being Black in the mental health system’. The findings highlighted that receiving a psychiatric

    This guide brings together the best information we’ve discovered and lessons we’ve learned at The Icarus Project and Freedom Center. It is not intended to persuade anyone to stop taking psychiatric medications, but instead aims to educate people about their options if they decide to explore going off. In a culture polarized between the pro-medication propaganda of pharmaceutical companies on the one hand, and the anti-medication agenda of some activists on the other, we offer a harm reduction approach to help people make their own Harm Reduction Guide to decisions. We also present ideas and information for people who decide to stay on or reduce their medications. Coming Off Psychiatric Drugs Many people do fi nd psychiatric drugs helpful and choose to continue taking them: even with the risks, this may be a better option given someone’s situation and circumstances. At the same time, psychiatric drugs carry great dangers and can sometimes do terrible harm, even becoming bigger problems than the conditions Published by they were prescribed to treat. Too often, people who need help getting off The Icarus Project and Freedom Center psychiatric drugs are left without guidance, and medication decisions can feel like fi nding your way through a labyrinth. We need honest information that widens the discussion, and we hope this guide helps people trust themselves more and take better care of one another. www.theicarusproject.net www.freedom-center.org Second Edition, revised and expanded.
