On this episode, we're talking to Michael about how he experiences the world, and how he's helping to educate people about what it really means to live with a rare, stigmatized, and widely misunderstood mental health condition.</a></p> </div> <article id="res1258189743" class="bucketwrap resaudio" aria-label="audio-module"><div class="audio-module"> <h4 class="audio-module-title">Going back to school with schizoaffective disorder</h4> <div class="audio-module-controls-wrap" data-audio='{"uid":"1197958423:1258189743","available":true,"duration":1833,"title":"Going back to school with schizoaffective disorder","audioUrl":"https:\/\/chrt.fm\/track\/138C95\/prfx.byspotify.com\/e\/play.podtrac.com\/npr-510312\/traffic.megaphone.fm\/NPR3503045241.mp3?d=1833&size=29328701&e=1197958423&t=podcast&p=510312&sc=siteplayer&aw_0_1st.playerid=siteplayer","storyUrl":"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/09\/04\/1197958423\/back-to-school-with-schizoaffective-disorder","slug":"","program":"Code Switch","affiliation":"","song":"","artist":"","album":"","track":0,"type":"segment","subtype":"other","skipSponsorship":true,"hasAdsWizz":true,"isStreamAudioType":false}' data-audio-metrics='[]'> <div class="audio-module-controls"> <a class="audio-module-listen" href="https://chrt.fm/track/138C95/prfx.byspotify.com/e/play.podtrac.com/npr-510312/traffic.megaphone.fm/NPR3503045241.mp3?d=1833&size=29328701&e=1197958423&t=podcast&p=510312&sc=siteplayer&aw_0_1st.playerid=siteplayer"> <b class="audio-module-listen-inner"> <b class="audio-module-listen-icon icn-play"></b> <b class="audio-module-listen-text"> <b class="audio-module-cta"> Listen </b> <b class="audio-module-listen-duration"> <span>· </span> <span>30:33</span> </b> </b> </b> </a> <time class="audio-module-duration" datetime="P30M,33S"> <span class="audio-module-duration__initial-value">30:33</span> </time> </div> </div> <div class="audio-module-tools"> <button class="audio-module-tools-toggle" data-metrics-ga4='{"category":"audio","action":"audio_open_more_options","storyId":"1197958423","mediaId":"1258189743","title":"Going back to school with schizoaffective disorder","type":"ondemand"}' > <b class="icn-toggle"></b> <b class="label">Toggle more options</b> </button> <ul class="audio-module-more-tools"> <li class="audio-tool audio-tool-download"><a href="https://chrt.fm/track/138C95/prfx.byspotify.com/e/play.podtrac.com/npr-510312/traffic.megaphone.fm/NPR3503045241.mp3?d=1833&size=29328701&e=1197958423&t=podcast&p=510312&sc=siteplayer&aw_0_1st.playerid=siteplayer" data-metrics-ga4='{"category":"audio","action":"audio_download","storyId":"1197958423","mediaId":"1258189743","title":"Going back to school with schizoaffective disorder","type":"ondemand"}' ><b class="icn-download"></b><b class="audio-tool-label">Download</b></a> </li> <li class="audio-tool audio-tool-embed" > <button data-embed-url="https://www.npr.org/player/embed/1197958423/1258189743" data-metrics-ga4='{"category":"audio","action":"audio_embed","storyId":"1197958423","mediaId":"1258189743","title":"Going back to school with schizoaffective disorder","type":"ondemand"}' ><b class="button-inner"><b class="icn-embed"></b><b class="audio-tool-label">Embed</b></b></button> <div class="audio-embed-overlay"> <button class="btn-close"></button> <label class="embed-label"> <b class="audio-embed-overlay__icon"></b> <b class="label">Embed</b> <input class="embed-url embed-url-no-touch" readonly value="<iframe src="https://www.npr.org/player/embed/1197958423/1258189743" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" title="NPR embedded audio player"></iframe>"> </label> <b class="embed-url embed-url-touch"> <code><b class="punctuation"><</b>iframe src="https://www.npr.org/player/embed/1197958423/1258189743" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" title="NPR embedded audio player"></code> </b> </div> </li> <li class="audio-tool audio-tool-transcript"> <a href="https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1197958423" data-metrics-ga4='{"category":"audio","action":"audio_click_transcript","storyId":"1197958423","mediaId":"1258189743","title":"Going back to school with schizoaffective disorder","type":"ondemand"}' > <b class="icn-transcript"></b> <b class="audio-tool-label">Transcript</b> </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </article> </div> </article> <h2 class="date">Monday <time datetime='2024-09-02'>September 2, 2024</time></h2> <article class="item has-image has-audio"> <div class="item-image"> <div class="imagewrap has-source-dimensions" data-crop-type="wide" style=" --source-width: 5326;
