Six Ways to Stop the Mental Illness Stigma
Stigma is one of the most challenging aspects of living with a mental health condition. It causes people to feel ashamed for something that is out of their control and prevents many from seeking the help they need. Stigma is not something that will go away on its own, but if we work together as a community, we can change the way we perceive mental illness in our society.
- Talk openly about mental health.
- Educate yourself and others about mental health.
- Be conscious of your language. Try to not use word like psycho, lunatic or crazy when describing people.
- Encourage equality in how people perceive physical illness and mental illness. If someone is diagnosed with cancer, friends and neighbors bring meals and gifts. If someone is being treated for a mental illness, people tend to avoid them rather than support them.
- Push back against the way people who live with mental illness are portrayed in the media.
- See the person, not the illness. A person with depression, bipolar disorder, any mental illness, is much, much more than their diagnosis.
