The Subjects We Cover

Inside Schizophrenia keeps a deliberately narrow focus. Rather than trying to cover all of medicine, we stick to the everyday areas where clear, calm reading genuinely helps. Here is what each of our five sections is about, with a good first article for each.

Oral Care

The newest section, and one of the most practical. Brushing technique, how long a toothbrush lasts and what causes bad breath. These are habits most people learned once as children and never revisited.

Start with: How to Brush Your Teeth Properly, then How to Get Rid of Bad Breath.

Health

Our broadest section brings together pieces on smoke-free alternatives for adult smokers, modern orthodontics, the public role of dentists, pharmacies and how they share information, and pregnancy. The thread running through it is everyday decisions rather than diagnoses.

Start with: Community Builders in White Coats or A Story Worth Saving.

Guides

Step-by-step pieces you can follow with the item in front of you. They are the articles to bookmark or keep open on your phone at the pharmacy counter. Each one ends with a short list of signs that mean it is time to ask a professional instead.

Start with: How to Read a Prescription Label.

Lifestyle

Health does not only happen in clinics. This section looks at the home, money and the way products are sold to us, from the true cost of disposable vapes to the marketing around masculinity, and how to clear old smoke from a house.

Start with: How to Get Rid of Smoke Smell in a House or Masculinity and Consumerism.

Technology

Refillable devices for adult smokers, the way health content spreads on social media and the gadgets that creep into daily routines. We look at how technology is changing the way health is sold and talked about, without the hype.

Start with: The Benefits of Vaping E-Liquids Over Smoking Regular Cigarettes, read alongside the cautions on About Our Health Articles.

What we leave out

We do not write about specific diseases in depth, treatment choices or medicines and doses. Those belong with professionals who can see you. If you are new here, the reading order on Start With the Basics is a gentle way in.
