| Introduction | My name is Kate Kiernan, I'm 50 and I've been in recovery from schizophrenia since the winter of 2002 when I began to take the anti-psychotic medications. Individual therapy continues to keep me grounded. I am also a visual artist and a songwriter. I am writing this blog to reach out to other people, to share my story and theirs, to support and be supported. I am writing to fight the stigma attached to mental illness. |
