New Name, New Stories, New Outlook...Same Mission

Current Issue
Schizophrenia Digest has been in existence for 14 years. We have a strong brand that we are very proud of. Our logo SZ is easily recognized. However, due to suggestions we have received from both our readers and advertisers we are making a minor change to our logo with our 2009 magazines.

Here is our new logo:

We have removed the word “Digest” and replaced it with “Magazine”. Nothing else has changed. It’s as simple as that. The word digest confused people as to the size of our magazine. We are a standard size of 8 3/8” x 10 7/8” (see our production specs for more details) and four colour glossy in design. We hope you like our new logo design and welcome your comments.

Mission Statement: "Dedicated to bringing hope, dignity, and support by providing inspiration & information about mental health issues"

Our old website is still active www.szdigest.com or you can now use www.szmagazine.com.

CEO and Founder Bill MacPhee – Speaker Extraordinaire


Here is just one of the many testimonials we receive regularly on Bill MacPhee and his speaking engagements.

“I had the good fortune to hear you speak at East Mountain Hospital on June 25th. I was blown away. I am a nurse who has been practicing in the field of mental health for the past twelve years, and I love it. I feel that is what I was called to do, yet at times it feels like a struggle, as I watch the devastation that mental illness Plays. I left that night recharged, hopeful and inspired. Thank you. I will be sharing the word with those I work with and I hope to hear you speak again this time alongside my colleagues at the hospital I work for. You are such an inspiration and your message is so clear.”
