With out even realizing it social media and the news maybe be playing a huge role in how you see people struggling with a mental health illness. You might be playing into the stigma that people with a mental health illness are lazy, need to just be grateful, are dramatic, or are simply just faking that something is truly wrong with them to begin with. This is how mental health stigmas were born, when we are constantly told by society that having a mental health illness is a bad thing, that seeking help and going to a therapist making you crazy then even the people who are struggling with those illness start to believe them. We need to start treating people who are suffering with love and care, we need to check in on them to see how they are doing, and we need to let them know that’s it okay to be themselves and that seeking help isn’t a weakness or that they won’t be judge for doing what’s best for them. It’s okay not to be okay. In today’s day an age talk about mental health is getting better but we still need to keep working on it every day, so many people are still scared too just be themselves and it’s sad. So, in today’s episode we discuss what a mental health stigma is, how it affects the people who are suffering and what we need to do to help the ones who are in pain every day of their life’s. I just want you to know that most people struggling with a mental health illness say that the hard part about it isn’t having a mental health illness, the hardest part is dealing with the way people treat and place judgement upon them without getting to know them first.
