Anyways, when I went to Shopper's Drug Mart (I don't know where they have this in the world, but I am from Canada so), I looked at their pamphlet section. I found one on emotional health and was like "cool, wonder what this is about" and it was only on depression. Why couldn't they have labelled that depression instead of emotional health? Do they think that's the only emotional health we have? I know there is still stigma, but don't label it something unless it's explaining everything under the category. They mentioned comorbid conditions, but nothing about them. The public is getting more knowledgeable aboug mental health, which is good, but there is a lot to work on. Is there anything else you have noticed about the public's opinion on mental health? Pamphlets, info sessions, stuff like that? Thanks.

it's a sad truth that so many people just don't get it.
and i've said this time and time again, and i'll say it here too
if the pubblic did more research about mental health issues, and actually stopped asuming that just because someone has a mental illness they are good for nothing, they might actually learn something and be shocked.
trouble is, we live in a world where many people just don't care. and it's a sad truth.
the media's not helping either.
portraying mentally ill people as killers. how is that helping our image
