Stop The Stigma

 "We all have physical health which we need to look after, when we become unwell we go and see a doctor and/or confide in friends and loved ones. We all have mental health which we need to look after but yet stigma and discrimination can stop many people from seeking help and confiding with friends and loved ones if they become unwell. Mental and physical health are both important to our wellbeing, just because you can't see mental health illness, or confirm it through a blood test, urine sample or an X-ray it doesn't mean it is not a real illness, mental health illness is just as real as a physical illness. Mental illness does not discriminate, however many people still discriminate those who are affected by it. We all have mental health which we need to look after, mental illness can happen to anyone. So before you judge someone or make an unkind remark, stop and think how you would feel if it happened to you"
