Mental illness
stigma
Mental illness. The most stigmatised illnesses of all. From self harm to eating disorder to panic attacks , the lack of knowledge around us is not only making us feel small but people not getting the treatment they deserve. A self harmer should stop seeking attention ... Right ? A anorexic should be envied.... Right ? And a panic attack sufferer should just calm down. So a cancer patient should just snap out of it ? And you don't have any reason to have a cold? " telling someone with a mental illness to snap out of it , is like telling a deaf person to listen harder " Those are things we just wouldn't say to people , so why is it ok to say to illnesses in the brain compared to the leg .. Or arm ? 1 million people will sadly die from suicide in the UK a year. I MILLION!
as well as 20% of all eating disorder sufferers will die. Along with the 3 million people suffering with an anxiety disorder in the uk alone. And it's not an issue ? It's all a joke... yes?.
