This is an integration, whatever you want to call it.

I know there is a big cadre of psychiatrists who are trying to get it renamed because it isn't correct.

So here we're talking about these illnesses.

They have the wrong nomenclature and

Thanks, Tony.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Tony.

Thank you, Tony.

I would say, too, there are so many facets of things that we can do.

So as an old undergraduate anthropology major, I learned how hard it is and how long a process it takes to change culture.

For instance, three years ago, I met through my book club with a freelance writer and we worked together to get an article put together on anosognosia because that was one of my primary advocacy goals because most people don't know what that is.

And we got a placement in People Magazine, which has 81 million subscribers or viewers or readers.

And my friend Eric Smith and I, Eric said, sure, I'll do it.

And then I called Dr. Amador.

And so it featured Eric and Dr. Amador talking about anosognosia.

And so I feel like we educated a lot of people in that one area.

We need to keep doing that because it's like a drop in the bucket.

Every time something like that comes out, we have another movie or whatever that demonizes it.

people that have these illnesses and makes them sound like monsters.
