I Support Mental Health Awareness

I support mental health awareness because people who have mental illnesses are not all crazy, are not all freaks, aren't all dangerous, and aren't all scary. Yes in history there are some pretty scary stuff that make up today's horror films. However as you read these words you know we are not in the stone age any more. Mental Illness is today is like all other illnesses. Like a simple cold, some mental illnesses can be self treated if you or someone you know, knows how to treat it. Sometimes mental illness is like the flu, you can stop it if you catch it soon enough. And sometimes mental illnesses are stubborn infections that won't go away unless you see a doctor for help.

No matter what the illness, today there is hope and cures for many but many people don't understand that. When they hear that someone has a mental illness they think of those stone age times. If people were more aware that having a mental illness is just like having a physical one, then more people would not have to live in such fear. And I don't mean just the people who have the illness.
