In recent months, we’ve started to see more stigmatising language around mental health and mental illness from senior public figures – including damaging misinformation around ‘overdiagnosis’ of mental health problems and questioning if people really do need mental health support. This stigmatising language is damaging for anyone living with a mental health problem. And it’s even influencing people who are close to someone who experiences poor mental health or mental illness – nine in 10 people with experience of mental illness have faced stigma from those closest to them. See Me is calling on Scotland to better its understanding of mental health and put old-fashioned stereotypes where they belong – in the past.
