Most people say that the stigma is worse that the actual illness. Let's stop that! People may not want to be treated differently if they address their mental state.

This may discourage people, who got turned into a joke, from ever getting help and forcing them to bottle their emotions and eventually may let it out the worst way possible through physical or verbal abuse. Another example of people not getting the help they need is sugarcoating. For example, someone with an eating disorder may ask a close friend or family about how they feel like they may need to find something to treat their large or unreasonably small eating habits, but the people they talked to may say that "it's okay" or "You're fine just the way you are," discouraging them or making them blissfully ignorant of the situation they may have.]]> 2022-03-30 16:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2121910758 https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2121911109 I agree that some people suffering from mental illness do not want to be treated differently. This might lead to people feeling left out because of the special treatment they get from other people.]]> 2022-03-30 16:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2121911109 https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2121911662 Great question! Mental illnesses never truly disappear, however they can become easier to manage over time. Certain treatments are also available, to reduce certain symptoms.  ]]> 2022-03-30 16:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2121911662 https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2121912907 Are you a Doctor? ]]> 2022-03-30 16:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2121912907 https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2128044976 If we happen to suspect or believe that someone we know is suffering from depression, how should we approach them, especially when they may be slightly hinting to thinking about or have done activities such as self-harm or suicide?]]> 2022-04-04 06:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2128044976 https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2128586505 Not only that, on a practical side, if the person in need of help is encouraged to find or seek therapy, there may be some problems with that. One of these are costs since these therapy sessions may not be available of affordable to all who, for example younger adults, are still trying to make money. Another problem could be that there is not a place to get help or therapy where they live, leading them to either becoming discouraged or having to spend more time out of their day to reach the location, seek help, then coming back which may potentially take a toll on their work or school life.]]> 2022-04-04 13:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2128586505 https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2129028589 People are very scared of judgement and do not want to keep their illnesses to themselves.]]> 2022-04-04 16:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2129028589 https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2129033946 Yes some mental illnesses are passed down through families.]]> 2022-04-04 16:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2129033946 https://padlet.com/haley_wagar/vagawdszfevg39r4/wish/2129038424 I completely agree!
