STIGMA: APPROACHING WELLNESS IN SPITE OF IT ALL
Many mental health consumers have witnessed a barrage of news stories and dramas depicting mental illness in an unfavorable light over the past month or so. Because these shows were
frightening to many viewers, stigma seems to be on the increase
in the aftermath. What can we do?
We can try to change it--but by proving those who stigmatize wrong. In groups, we might choose to start a bipolar band
or direct or act in a bipolar play. We may even start a bipolar softball team. But as individuals, we can make a far greater contribution.
Read about some current trends in mental health policy and then learn the importance of looking towards wellness by reading how one nurse found her own path toward balance and was able to reach her potential.
By striving toward less extreme behavior, we can better steer
clear of the mental health and criminal justice systems, and
at the same time, rebuild our lives through healthy habits,
taking meds, avoiding alcohol, caffeine and drugs, and taking advantage of social skills and illness and behavioral management resources.
