If you, or somebody you know, has a mental illness then you know there is so much more to a person than their diagnosis.
A mental illness is a medical condition that disrupts a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others and daily functioning. Just as diabetes is a disorder of the pancreas, mental illnesses are medical conditions that often result in a diminished capacity for coping with the ordinary demands of life.
Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion or income. Mental illnesses are NOT the result of personal weakness, lack of character or poor upbringing.
Join me in stopping the stigma...join me in reminding society that there is more to a person then their mental health diagnosis!
