I despise to the stigma of mental illness

[jnelson66]

I have been doing a lot of promotion lately to help pulverize the stigma of mental illness. I strongly believe the stigma plays a very direct and prominent role in people dying.

Specifcally for MDD, as that is my main diagnosis. I have uncovered a lot of insights about the stigma along my journey.

Check these out. Share away. Hopefully they are helpful. Keep up the fight.

I agree there is a huge stigma surrounding mental illness. Fortunately there is more open conversation around the topic. Things are better than the used to be.

I find I experience judgement when someone is looking at my med list. This statement references the medical community. I work in the medical field so the fact that this still goes on angers me.

My med list may scream out " she's nuts". Once I open my mouth to speak they see a high functioning human that needs meds for quality of life.

I speak to my issues when the opportunity arises. Awareness is what's going to change things.

Thank you for the video
