And depression and anxiety is the sprained ankle of mental illness. No one wants to see OCD or Schizophrenia. That is where the real stigma is about.

Great presentation. Here in the United States, this type of talk would be good for middle school and high school age children. The overwhelming need to fit in is a dangerous thing for us all. Don’t suffer in silence!! Pay attention, be patient and be supportive!

My uncle doesn't understand that my disability is mental illness. He has a physical disability and thinks I'm just being 'lazy'. (I have OCD and psychosis)

I think of severe depression as the absolute absence of hope.

If I can change one thing it would be to not have every representative of mental illness stigma be about depression and anxiety. And I suspect most of these depressed anxious young adults come from relative wealth privilege and power.

My mental illness, which include sleep disorder (both symptoms and causations) since 9 years old. Now my mental illness contribute to my ALS, which cause my paralysis. One day my nerve damage will cause organs failures, usually the lungs and suffocate to death. So is real, mental illness cause biological destruction.
