The stigma around schizophrenia is one of the reasons Canadians don't want to talk about it. "Let's Talk About It", a provincial campaign organized by Schizophrenia Digest, will hold the fifth and final in a series of province-wide community public forums in Toronto on June 10th at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Centre.
According to a Toronto based poll, 92 per cent of respondents agree the cost of medications prescribed to someone with schizophrenia should be covered by provincial health insurance plans. In Toronto, 60 per cent of residents surveyed are willing to pay an extra $1 in taxes every year to ensure better treatment for people with schizophrenia.
