There are still three misunderstandings about thinking disorder: invisibility, danger and inability to work. Recently, Taiwan Province Psychiatric Association and Friends of Rehabilitation Association released a survey on the cognition and attitude of thinking disorder among 1088 people and 262 patients with thinking disorder. The results show that people still have three misunderstandings about thinking obstacles, namely "invisibility", "danger" and "inability to work", which is obviously the biggest dilemma they face in their current lives.
American patient Rachel Starr came to Taiwan Province to share her personal story.
Rachel Star Withers, a 32-year-old American patient, came to Taiwan Province to talk about this matter and share her story with her patients through her own experience, hoping to tear off the label of mental disorder and remove the stigma. She said that she had been hallucinating since she was a teenager, which made her teenagers live a "humiliating" life. However, when she finally accepted herself and faced with the disease, she began to shoot films about sensory disorders from 10, and has read more than 1 100 million times so far. It's hard to imagine that she is engaged in stunts, often participates in program shooting, and even kisses and wrestles with crocodiles. You can fully integrate into society and dance peacefully with this disease.
Rachel now has three jobs at the same time, namely, a gym employee, a model course tutor, and some body body double and stunt work. Flexible working hours allow her to independently arrange a rich life every day. She believes that people with dyslexia can work, and work can help people find the focus of life and make friends.
