I am a student mental health nurse in England. This video was very useful to me, I am on placement working with heroin users who also have schizophrenia. I think you are right, it is not a weakness, but an illness, and people should be respected and helped, not judged and shunned. I hope when I qualify in 2011, I can help to stamp out stigma.
