People with lived experience in mental health live each day putting one foot in front of the other often walking the same path as those in society who think they are "normal" well as I have said before, Normal is a setting on a washing machine not a person. The more that the media puts the focus on a person having a mental illness the more the stigma is for those of us living with mental health issues! Let me ask you, if you committed a crime and had a history of cancer do you think the media would even bother to mention this fact? The answer is NO! Why must the media continue to blame crimes on a person having a mental illness or a history of mental illness? Do they not know the stigma that is out there that causes many people in society to not seek the help they need? Labels are for CANS *NOT* PEOPLE!
