Frederick J. Frese has contributed a paper about his experience of paranoid schizophrenia. He claims that the biggest impact on him was probably giving him a purpose and a passion to try to improve the lives of others who find themselves struck down by these serious mental illnesses (Frese, 2010, p. 378). I, too, find that it gives satisfaction and healing to tackle the effects of an iatrogenic diagnosis on public and self-stigma (see Ben-Zeev et al., 2010, p. 319). This is where the association I belong to – Anoiksis – comes in.
