SCHIZOPHRENIC.NYC MENTAL HEALTH CLOTHING BRAND
Schizophrenic.NYC Mental Health Clothing Brand was created Michelle Hammer, a Schizophrenia Activist living in New York City who wants to change in the way New Yorkers perceive people with mental health issues. Schizophrenic.NYC donates a portion of our profits to organizations who support the mentally ill homeless, such as Fountain House, NYS Health Foundation, MHA-NYC, and NAMI. The designs made by Michelle Hammer the creator of Schizophrenic.NYC are intended to start discussions- What do the see in the Rorschach Tests T-shirts and Tank Tops? How do our mental health slogans make you feel? Only through an open dialogue of mental health can we reduce its stigma. Here at Schizophrenic.NYC we are using clothing and art to get the word out about mental health awareness. Together we are making a change!

HIRE MICHELLE
Michelle speaks about her first experiences with paranoia and refusing help. When Michelle finally does reach out for help she is first misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. If it weren’t for her great college friends or the lacrosse team acting as a support network she feels she never would have survived college. When Michelle is diagnosed with Schizophrenia at age 22 things get better, because now she is being treated for the right illness. Why did she start Schizophrenic.NYC? Book Michelle to find out!
“Michelle is always one of the first people to step up for any advocacy project.”
– Cecilia McGough, Students With Psychosis
“She doesn’t filter her words, maybe because she’s schizophrenic, or maybe because she’s a New Yorker.”
