Media & Mental Illness

Quite often the media is to blame in the stigmatization of those with mental illness. We need to minimize the effects of these media dramatics and maximize the assistance given to those who suffer in silence.

This affects everyone in society whether they realize it or not. Until we accept this fact, the stigma of mental illness will only grow as people go undiagnosed and untreated.
