Moir, who herself is in remission of borderline personality disorder, says living with a severe persistent mental illness, that is also very stigmatized, has helped her help others with schizophrenia. "I can demonstrate that you can build a life worth living and a successful and happy life, despite your symptoms," Moir said. She notes there are many people who are scared of psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses and that the mental health commissioner of Canada has found those with a mental illness are sometimes more comfortable talking to others with mental illness. "So somebody might come to me explaining a fear of taking medication in a way they may not feel comfortable explaining it to a psychiatrist.

"It's a nice opportunity that I have. One of my favourite things is empowering the individual to advocate for themselves and ask questions so that they can get information that they're really comfortable with to help them with their recovery." People with schizophrenia and their families are still so afraid of the stigma that they are probably the last people that are going to come out and talk about it, says Moir, which doesn't help with spreading its awareness. "One in five people have a mental illness, that's 20 per cent and the other 80 per cent are directly affected, so we're all in this together as a community. By coming to events like the Walk for Schizophrenia, you're really showing people that you believe in full social inclusion for everybody -- this is our community's chance to support people with schizophrenia," she added.
