Psychosis Statistics

Recently, I was approached by the fab Jess from Life in Unreality to help create some infographics to show the reality of psychosis statistics in the UK.

Below are the infographics we came up with. If you want to use them for your own awareness campaigns, please feel free! Just ensure you credit us appropriately using the below attribution. We spent a fair amount of time researching and designing these.

If you want to see more by Jess, you can find her Twitter account here @lifeinunreality. She’s a great activist who is always looking to engage with different voices in our community, so please check her out! She also has a separately-branded copy of the infographics here.
