Stigma of “Mental Illness”

in #psychology6 years ago

Being labeled “mentally ill” is like being branded with a red hot iron. Due to the ubiquity and entrenchment of cultural programming and social engineering, once discovered as “mentally ill” by another — instead of being seen as down on their luck — the person is now culled and divided from humanity, often pitied and in need of “treatment.” But not even the modern day gods of psychiatry and big pharma can save them because their maladies have been deemed eternal.
