"Round the twist, nutter, weirdo" - this sobering video shows the true discrimination faced every day by one in 100 people in the UK.
The clip was made using people who suffer from schizophrenia filmed revealing names they've been called for their mental health issues.
"Schizo" and "psycho" are two other terms used in the film, where the participants are made up to show how they feel they're treated by society.
From the white make up for feeling invisible to a black hole for a man who feels he's scary and unknown, the moving interviews conducted by a leading mental health charity are to launch Schizophrenia Awareness Week 2015 running up to World Mental Health Day on October 10.
The frank revelations of those who live with schizophrenia show another side to the image many have of mental illness, but these are not unique stories.
New data which has also been shared by Rethink Mental Illness shows long waits and inadequate care are negatively affecting the lives of 89% of those with schizophrenia.
Inadequate care has had a negative knock on effect on symptoms, overall health, work, relationships and quality of life.
The survey, conducted with more than 1,000 people with schizophrenia and their carers, has revealed the widespread impact on recovery of long waiting times for basic recommended therapies.
Nearly nine in 10 people reported not getting the right support has had a negative impact on their overall quality of life, while less than a third, 28%, received the recommended minimum of 16 hours of talking therapies, and a quarter (24%) had to wait more than a year to get any at all.
Importantly, the absence of the right care and support is having a negative effect on people’s condition, with nearly nine in 10 - or 87% - saying this has had a negative impact on the severity of their symptoms.
The survey also showed the stark impact of not getting the right treatment and support, with people reporting a negative impact on working, studying and maintaining relationships.
Rethink Mental Illness has called on Clinical Commissioning Groups to increase spending on mental health services in line with NHS guidelines .
Mark Winstanley, CEO, said: “Schizophrenia affects 1 in 100 ordinary people like you and I. I
"It’s not a rare illness at all and what’s often misunderstood is that people with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and psychosis can lead a normal life if they get the right support.
"But as our survey shows, far too many people are not getting that, and that’s having a very real and devastating impact on the day to day things most of us take for granted," he continued.
“Mental health services are underfunded and overstretched, and this is resulting in people spiraling deep into a world where they feel they can’t lead anything close to a normal life.
“By 2020, we want England to have a mental health care system that is fairly funded according to local and national need, delivering high quality mental health care, at the time and place that people need it.”
Rethink Mental Illness is calling on the nation to support the fight for fair funding so that people with mental illness get the support they need.
