MENTAL ILLNESS: Let's Extend Compassion and remove the stigma

Mental illness carries so much stigma. Too much stigma. While there is no shame taking time off work after a bout of pneumonia or viral fever, sharing that you have a mental illness is an act of profound courage for the risk of rejection, judgment and discrimination people are afraid they’ll face.  

I don’t have all the answers to curing the rise and rise of suicide and mental illness in our world today, I am certain that removing the stigma that surrounds it would help to ease the suffering of those who are struggling and make it easier for them to reach out for help when they need it.

There are many ways we can help to destigmatize mental illness and make it easier for people not to self-stigmatize themselves. Talk openly—without shame or self-consciousness—about your experience of depression, anxiety or other mental illness. If you sense someone around you may be struggling, have the courage to ask them how they’re doing. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine how they’re experiencing life. And if you are struggling yourself, I encourage you to reach out and give people the opportunity to support you

Let's Come together on 5th Jan and share your story and listen to other's experiences.

Join hands to create a truly COMPASSIONATE SOCIETY
