Annie Hazzard

Annie Hazzard is a wife, mother, and long-term carer for her husband, Adam, who lives with a diagnosis of “schizophrenia.” (Names used are pseudonyms) Drawing on years of navigating fractured mental health, social care and housing systems, I write to illuminate the hidden realities families face and the resilience demanded when love, families and psychiatry collide. My writing aims to make visible what is too often silenced.
