Speaking up on mental health to challenge the stigma of schizophrenia

Nicola Hynds has been hearing voices since she was a child, but she wants to challenge the stigma of schizophrenia she tells Áilín Quinlan.

Nicola Hynds was only four years old when the pictures hanging in the hall of her grand-parents’ house started to “move.”

“I’d walk up and down the hall looking at all the pictures and paintings. They used to move around and I was always scared that one day they would jump out and grab me,” she recalls.
