Writing about - being open with anyone - about my #mentalhealth hasn't been easy. But huge thanks to Centre for Mental Health for providing me with space to do just that. A lesson learnt? There is a stunning amount of solidarity in sharing how we feel. Doing so isn't selfish #mentalillness
People are happy to talk about your garden variety mental illness like depression and anxiety, but turn their heads away from psychosis and manic depression etc., π₯Ή nothing changes re stigma π€¬ #mentalillness
It's *2024* - & I can't believe what I've just heard #rishisunak say about #mentalhealth & #mentalillness .
How is it 'moral' to take such a palpably discriminatory stance against mental illness - & have the gall to say it's 'compassion'?
Let's call it what it is: *prejudice*.
Day 103!
'I know you're worried, my son, but the world will move on, with or without me.'
Whoa, pre-teen Mimic hc lore.

The lack of continuity of care for those with #bipolar severe #mentalillness and #mentalhealth conditions is an utter joke. No wonder many folk going round in circles. I believe many could recover & get well sooner if there is a pathway to care like most other health conditions.
Disparity in access to #mentalillness medications highlights need for improved #mentalhealth + healthcare approach in pan-Canadian initiatives, including future universal pharmacare. via @thespec thespec.com/opinion/contri⦠#MentalHealthGap
