Life Would Be Better and SAFER Without Stigma-MHA

What if... when depression reached the point you could no longer ignore it, or anxiety reached a level it interfered with your life, you could react the same way you would if any other part of your body was creating a problem for you? You'd mention it to a friend. You'd call your doctor. You'd feel free to say "this hurts!" But when the part "not working" is our brains, we feel embarrassed or ashamed or reluctant (or not worthy) to get help help. That's the price of stigma.In this third episode of a 3-part series on the stigma of mental illness, we look at how much better- and SAFER - life would be, if people just recognized mental-health challenges the same way they do physical-health challenges.
