About this Episode

In this episode of Tumor Minutes, Netra breaks down what schizophrenia actually is and what it is not.

From how the brain processes reality, to the real meaning behind symptoms like hallucinations, motivation changes, and thinking difficulties, this episode explains the science of schizophrenia in a clear, teen-friendly way. Netra also shares a real-world story to show what living with schizophrenia can truly look like, and why a diagnosis does not define someone’s future.

This episode focuses on understanding, early support, and replacing stigma with science, because mental health is health.
