Do you think there is a lot of stigma about mental health?

I think with depression it has many factors.
This whole online thing isnt helping at all.
Whilst i have clinical depression i know what's good for me and it is cutting out bad habits.

Dont go online so much
Engage in a real life conversation every day
Do something you enjoy
Be silly
Listen to music the silence can be deafening
Join a group
Use your phone less
Watch something interesting

I thought id be dead by now. But im here to fight another day. The power is your hands. There's many ways out its finding the one thatll get you out of the rut. i vouch for CBT and a good diet.
Take anti depressants if you have to x

A lot of people pretend to have mental health issues like it is some cool trend or because they think it excuses that bad behaviour but I don't pay them much mind.

I have had bad mental health I used to struggle with anxiety and depression for a good number of years, during that time I took many medications, had counselling, CBT etc...

I realised that there isn't a medication on this Earth or a person that could help me, the only person who could help me was me. CBT probably would have helped had I listened but when you are in a dark place it is hard to believe that you'll ever find a way out of it so you ignore other people.


After years of desperately trying to figure out my internal issues the answer was not complicated but difficult to carry out (I am still doing it now).. how you think impacts your emotions and your behaviours but the trouble is staying present in your mind is draining and necessary. You need to catch the unhealthy thoughts in their tracks and change them but it has to be something you can believe. All the affirmations in the World won't help if they have no meaning or aren't relevant.

Much like facing a fear it has to be dealt with in the moment that those unhealthy thoughts, feelings and undesirable responses to a situation need to be addressed when they are present.

I think there is a lot less stigma towards it compared to years back.
Still a fair bit of stigma and of course you have those young people who think having a mental illness is cool and they pretend to have a illness, or those who fake mental illnesses to capitalize from it.
Those people I feel are far worse than any stigma mental illnesses get these days

I feel like I can see improvements with my friends and even with some coworkers. However there is still a long way to go in terms of feeling confident to be open about MH if you want a leadership position.
Some days I feel we are healing…
Others crumbling.
I think we are on the cusp here and we have a chance to do better

Most definitely still a lot of stigma. Not so much in people talking about it, but in the way people react to it.

I believe there is a shit ton of misdiagnosis and labeling of normal human behavior

I think we are gradually improving but it’s small comfort to those who are suffering

I have done all my talking, searching. healing and growing, I will never stop learning. I just like helping others where I can, we all need to listen yo everyone we come across in life because they might have something you can use to help you on your journey.

No ones getting a lobotomy anymore

Still alot of situational stigma. Better than long time ago.
Too much fake mental illness as well from snowflake people.

I think there is less stigma about it but there definitely is a lot and it seems to be political based too.
