With a growing number of people experiencing a decline in their mental health, society is becoming better equipped to respond to our needs. However, the stigma around mental illness and seeking help remains.
Stigma affects not only the number seeking treatment, but also the number of resources available for proper treatment. Untreated, mental illness can contribute to higher medical expenses, poorer performance at school and work, fewer employment opportunities and increased risk of su***de.
Showing individuals respect and acceptance removes a significant barrier to people with mental illness. Having people see them as an individual and not as their illness can make the biggest difference for someone who is struggling with their mental health.
