Living with Schizophrenia with Elyn Saks

This episode of Safe Space Radio features law professor and Macarthur Fellow Elyn Saks talking about her experience of living with Schizophrenia. When diagnosed, Elyn was given a grave prognosis and told that she might never live independently. With the help of psychoanalysis and medication, however, she returned to law school and is now an expert on mental health law and the author of four books. Elyn speaks about stigma and mental illness, the use of restraints in psychiatric hospitals, and her research into the lives of high-functioning people with schizophrenia.
