Tara Nicole MillerTara Miller lives with a diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder (a form of schizophrenia) and considers herself a psychiatric survivor. She first started experiencing symptoms when she was nineteen years old and a junior at Penn State University. Her illness grew in severity till she was hospitalized multiple times and unable to work or function. However, after many years of fighting, she achieved a new level of stability and recovery and returned to work and completed her master's degree in counseling psychology. She credits her wellness with many years of self-exploration, becoming an advocate, education on mental health, and other wellness tools like exercise, medication, and radical self-care.
