Mental Health

Mental health has slowly emerged from the shadows in recent years. After centuries of marginalization, our mental health is gradually receiving more attention, being openly treated by healthcare professionals and people with mental illness. Many people misinterpret or discriminate against those with mental health problems, because of negative, false, and harmful social perceptions. Here is a list of 5 common phrases about mental disorders that are nothing more than negative stereotypes and myths.

Discover 5 Biggest Myths About Mental Health

5. People with mental health problems can’t work

People with mental health issues are plagued by the myth that they cannot hold a job or be useful members of society. Neither is true. An individual with a particularly serious mental health problem may be unable to work on a regular basis. Most individuals with mental health issues can be just as productive as those without any disorders.

4. People with panic disorder do not leave the house

A panic syndrome is characterized by a profound fear of fear that can cause such intense anxiety that the individual takes defensive measures to protect themselves from the threat. However, this condition can be reversed with proper treatment.

3. Mental health problems are a sign of weakness

Similarly, a broken leg is not a sign of weakness. Disorders of the mind are diseases, not indications that an individual is incapable of coping with life’s challenges. For example, people with depression can’t “get out” of it, any more than a person with diabetes or psoriasis can.

2. Panic and fear are the same things

A natural reaction of the body to something or a potential threat is fear. It is closely related to the survival instinct since it is a natural reaction to self-preservation. The fear that characterizes panic attacks can become so intense that it can get out of control, and the causes can be reasonable or unreasonable. A panic attack is more intense. The fear is uncontrollable and can lead to phobias.

1. Mental health issues are permanent

”Mental health” diagnoses do not entail a ‘lifetime penalty.’ Mental illness affects everyone differently. Some people may go through episodes in which they return to their “normal” selves. Some find that medications or talk therapy are effective in restoring balance to their lives.
