Schizophrenia Digest, Summer 2009

Schizophrenia Digest, Summer 2009

Launched in 1994, SZ Magazine is the brainchild of Bill MacPhee, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 24.
Bill has first-hand knowledge of the isolation felt by those with the disorder, and he wanted to create a resource that wasnt available to him when he was diagnosed. He envisioned a magazine that would provide relevant information about news and research from around the world, as well as reach out to people in a personal way through interviews with others affected by schizophrenia, either directly or indirectly.
The premier issue of SZ Magazine arrived in mailboxes across Canada in June 1994. Then, after overseeing the growth of the magazine to a professional, quarterly publication, Bill took the initiative to address the needs of the 2.5 million Americans living with schizophrenia and launched a U.S. edition in 2003.
Today, SZ Magazine has a combined (Canadian and U.S.) readership of 90,000 and has been recognized with several media and mental health awards. The magazine reaches not only people with schizophrenia and their families, but doctors, government representatives and mental health professionals as well.
