We have all at one time or another been marginalized, discriminated against or made to feel like you do not below on this earth. Like other groups throughout history, people with a mental illness have experienced awful heartbreaking oppression and made to feel they don’t belong. What gives ANY ONE the right to treat others this way? Why do e tolerate it this archaic behavior in the 21st century, when people are meant to be more enlightened? We MUST NOT TOLERATE IT. Like any other physical illness, No one is immune to mental ill health. NOT You, or I.
By Standing Up for Mental Health, you’ll let others know:
- There is nothing “wrong” with having a mental illness.
- People with a mental illness are not alone in what they are dealing with.
- People with a mental illness shouldn’t feel ashamed or forced to hide their mental illness symptoms and desire for effective treatment.
- Mental health stigma will no longer be tolerated.
