The BBC soap asked mental health charity Mind for its insight into the experiences of Isaac Baptiste.
EastEnders has been working with the mental health charity Mind on a storyline focusing on schizophrenia, producers confirmed on Monday.
Mind says there are multiple reasons for this including stigma, cultural barriers, and systemic discrimination, all of which are more directly experienced by black boys and young black men as they get older. Symptoms can include hallucinations, delusions, muddled thoughts and a loss of interest in everyday activities.
"I hope that anyone engaging with Isaac's story will gain a better understanding and can approach someone they know that may be struggling from a more positive place."
