Mental Health – Voices
I think that’s a really big influence, your parents want you to do better and the standards are set higher for us then they were for them. I think mental health is underrated.
When I was first diagnosed, I was devastated that it would take pills to make me ‘normal’ but everybody has it, everyone experiences it at some point. I think it’s so underrated and people look at it like it’s a negative thing, like you should be institutionalized, and I don’t think it’s to that extent.
I think if people reach out and get help, they’ll be so much happier. Bringing awareness to the fact that it is a problem is important but it’s not a problem, it’s something can be dealt with the right resources.
