The mental health section of Healthtalkonline is currently being developed. Researchers are looking for people who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, who are willing to share their experiences via video, audio, or anonymously. Healthtalkonline is an online database of personal experiences of different health conditions. It is a peer-to-peer advisory and information service, and is also used to train medical staff. Experiences of people aged 16 to 25 are published on the sister site Youthhealthtalk. Researchers are interested in hearing from people, whether or not they agree with the legitimacy of their diagnosis. To get an idea of what the finished resource will look like, visit the depression section of the healthtalkonline website.
