This fear we have of mental illness, of its effect on us or those - TopicsExpress



          

This fear we have of mental illness, of its effect on us or those we encounter, must not be turned into stigma... Stigma severs bonds of family and community, as it is often easier to stereotype and ostracize those who suffer, than treat them with compassionate care. Stigma deludes us into thinking that we ourselves are not susceptible to the afflictions of others; it deludes us into thinking that the suffering of others is of no concern to us.
