If You Don't Know - Young, Black & Schizophrenic

On EastEnders and IRL.

More often than not, things like schizophrenia aren't really talked about in our communities. But, thanks to EastEnders, loads of people have been watching Isaac deal with the mental illness.

In this episode, we speak to someone who knows what it’s like to live with schizophrenia. Antonio Ferreira worked with EastEnders to try and get the most authentic and genuine storyline. Big respect and big learns.
