Committable Conversations: Anosognosia Misrepresentations
from Committable Hosted by Jesse Mangan
In this conversation host Jesse Mangan speaks with independent journalist Leah Harris and Committable producer Jim McQuaid about statistics that have become commonly misrepresented to justify the expansion of carceral policies. Specifically they focus on the claim that 57%-98% of people with schizophrenia experience anosognosia. Throughout the course of this conversation they break down where the claim comes from, why this sort of misrepresentation can be dangerous, and the importance of acknowledging complexity. And since this conversation was recorded on July 14th Leah also provides a brief overview of the concept of Mad Pride and how that movement became connected to Bastille Day.
