RE: Mental illness a censured sickness (Part One)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
you know sometimes it's surprising how people treat patients with Cancer and Alzheimers (just saying hypothetically)... both are illnesses but in the eyes of outsiders, one is to be treated with much kindness and care and the other should be treated like a plague... and that's why people don't usually opt to go to a psychiatrist... just think about it, your friend may be suggesting that you should consult with someone but your neighbour next door starting to spread gossip about it, making it a monumental mess...
although when I was facing my issues, I barely could rest. I was sleeping like 3 or 4 hours or sometimes no sleep at all and it really affected me, just lying half-awake is very painful, to be honest. you may be facing multiple issues at the same time, big and small... But sometimes it just so happens that you can't figure out exactly which point is more bothersome to you the most...
You know it almost seems like how we'd (as in society) treat people with other illnesses... a drug addict and a mental health patient are treated almost the same way
I feel the society doesn't consider mental health patients as patients. But, your point is accurate too that even physical health problems are not getting the right attention it needs to. Both illnesses are very different from each other and definitely have different diagnostic procedures and after-effects.
The simple recognition of these illnesses to be considered as illness is which is less addressed or more like understood in our society which is really a tragic story or more frustrating.
hmmm
Unable to connect, is bothersome. The society's drama added to that of self confusions add up to the limitless thought barricades. The actual mode of realization may trigger once we can actually freely understand the circumstances of the problem.
Some say na, that if you know the diagnosis you can cure but if you are unaware of the conditions, how may we solve it out? And, when such crucial matters are treated as insignificant, it just becomes more unbearable.
