Just a quick post. May is Mental Health Awareness month. I think Dr. Drew (whether you like him or not) said it best: why is it that we can talk about any illnesses below the neck but anything above the neck, people look away, tell you to "get over it", or don't want to talk about it?
The shame that mental health still causes is a huge problem in this country. We need to get mental health diagnosis out of the dark and into the light. Accepting it is the best way to address it. If you are ashamed, embarrassed, or do not talk to someone about it, it will not get better. Does cancer, heart issues, or any other physical health concern just go away by ignoring it?
Mental health is as important as any physical health issues. Address it, find the proper treatment, feel better. Easy enough?
