The book Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health is a good read along these lines.
Stigma? Have you been on social media? Mental health disorders are fucking celebrated.
Social media is an echo chamber for people with nothing better to do that represents a tiny part of population. In real world many industries would gladly disqualify professionals from working at the first hint of screws flying loose. Especially where any threat to safety have high potential to be fatal.
The site we're on is social media
I haven’t been on mainstream social media in awhile but it makes me happy to hear there’s such low stigma there. I can only assume this comes from a younger generation of people who have had to deal with unfathomable mental health issues from being raised in the internet era.
They are "celebrated" despite the stigma. Also, it's not really celebrated as much as it is accepted and acknowledged.
