Something that's hard for me as a person who has a psychotic illness is reading correspondence/recalling dialogue between myself and others that took place when I was manic, but not for the reasons you may think 1/ #psychosis #Stigma #MentalIllness
Activists/advocates of my generation know that we probably won't see any major reduction in #Stigma and #Discrimination toward those with #SevereMentalIllness #SeriousMentalIllness in our lifetime. What we are doing now is for future generations; we won't live long enough. #MedEd
Día 1 - Stigma Este año voy a hacer el intento del #Bangtober pero versión tranqui #btsfanart #TAEHYUNG #stigma #art #inktober2022
Met a new colleague today. He was really nice, and I was thinking he could turn into a good friend, till he started laughing on some anecdote about a "crazy" woman he'd seen in a cafe that morning. And that was that. #MentalHealth #Stigma #TiredOfTheStigma
The mentally ill will not be silenced. The more sanists try to shut us up, the louder we will speak. #Sanism #Ableism #Stigma #Discrimination #ActuallyBipolar #BipolarClub #BipolarAwareness #MentalHealth #Advocacy #PsychosisAwareness #WeWillNotBeSilenced #BipolarArtist
I've been talking to friends who also have SMIs, more specifically mental illnesses that involve #psychosis, and comparing notes, a disturbing aspect of the #MentalHealthAwareness movement is emerging, i.e. it is actually INCREASING the #stigma of those with SMIs... #MentalHealth
1/ It might surprise people to learn that stigma and discrimination of those with SMI (severe/serious mental illness) can come from other mentally unwell people. #MentalHealth #BipolarClub #Bipolar #Schizophrenia #Schizoaffective #Psychosis #Mania #Depression #Stigma #MedEd
Clinicians need to realize that their stigmatization of the mentally unwell can lead us to hide our illnesses from them, with possibly fatal results. #StreamlineSurgical #ShawSomers #GuySlater #DeniseRatcliffe #MentalHealth #MedTwitter #MedEd #Stigma #Discrimination
Mental health professionals must listen to the opinions of the mentally unwell. We are the experts on our illnesses, not you - you are outside observers struggling to explain what you do not understand. #MentalHealth #Psychiatry #Psychology #LivedExperience #MHAdvocacy #Stigma
1/ If you tell those around you that you have an SMI (serious/severe mental illness), you need to be prepared for them to react as if you have just unexpectedly committed a terrible crime and have been sentenced to life imprisonment #MentalHealth #Stigma #MHAwareness #Bipolar
