Personality Disorder and Institutional Prejudice. Part 2

Walk a Mile in My Shoes

Welcome back to this second episode in the 5 part miniseries where we talk about the institutional prejudice experienced by many people carrying around a label of Personality Disorder.

Like before, this episode is a direct result of the recent, astonishingly discriminatory, personality disorder course description circulated by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

In this episode, I speak with the delightful Naomi Malhotra, a person with a lifetime of experience challenging the prejudice, discrimination and stigma of carrying around the label in both her personal and professional life.

You can find her here on twitter @doricgirl

Here's a link to the national service user network, the organisation she mentioned in our conversation

And here's the link to Personality Disorder: No longer a diagnosis of exclusion that was written over 9 years ago

In the next, third episode of this miniseries, I’ll be speaking with Hollie. I interviewed her a couple of years ago…links in the blurb…unsurprisingly, I talk to her about her experience of the very specific mental health stigma that’s attached to a label of personality disorder..

Until the next time,

Thanks for listening
