Eleanor Longden: The voices in my head

The speaker shares their journey from experiencing voices during university to being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Initially misunderstood and mistreated by medical professionals, they faced a challenging period of mental health struggles. With support from family and professionals, they learned to understand and accept the voices as responses to trauma. This led to personal recovery and advocacy work, contributing to the Hearing Voices Movement, which promotes understanding and support for voice-hearers.
