Mental - The Podcast to Destigmatise Mental Health
PTSD
I would argue that so much of the issues that you're describing are presented by the way mental illnesses are treated in our current mental health system. I totally agree that something like PTSD can be so understandable via people's experiences of trauma but if we are then mistreated for that perfectly human reaction that's where I think it's disgusting. So much of this stigma is very dangerous to people and can leave people feeling that their problems aren't real whereas having a diagnosis itself can be a powerful acknowledgement of how real your experience is. Having diagnoses myself was an acknowledgement that there is something clear and identifiable that I'm going through and that I'm not alone in it.
