Schizophrenia Memes

For the purposes of this blog post, a meme (sounds like it rhymes with cream) is simply, a humorous picture. There are many different types of meme, and also different meanings to the word 'meme', but for this blog post, it is just a (hopefully) funny picture!

This is the original meme I created around schizophrenia in March about societal beliefs around schizophrenia compared to the actual reality of it:

















Morpheus (from The Matrix films) saying the myth that all people with schizophrenia are dangerous is false:

















Has anyone else felt puzzled by this?

















Condescending Wonka tells it how it is:

Or when you're trying to sleep and your scumbag brain keeps you awake:


More medication problems:


The lucky few with medication success:


And a common worry with schizophrenia:


Anyone else think their psychiatrist feels like this when they prescribe your meds?


And last of all, the Actual Advice Mallard gives advice for those struggling with side effects:


If you have another meme about schizophrenia or other mental health issues that you want me to add, let me know!
