What we get wrong about Mental Health?

Показать описание
It’s 2021, and while more people are talking about mental health than ever before, there’s still a whole lot we often get wrong about it.

Certain mental illnesses are thrown around as casual synonyms for everyday feelings and behaviors. Think “I’m so OCD” or “wow I’m feeling bipolar today.” Most people misusing these terms don’t mean any harm, but their misuse contributes to stigma and upholds misconceptions about what these conditions entail.

In episode 1 of our five part series What We Get Wrong About…, we talk to young Canadians about their mental health journey and break down misconceptions at large with a group of passionate advocates and experts.

It may also be time to recognize that DSM and and ICD codes - helpful amongst practitioners, researchers and administrators - are often "obstacles to cure" in a community -based mental health service.

Socioeconomic variables are every bit as important as standardized 'symptoms' when helping someone who is having a crisis. A truly statistical manual will need to incorporate a person's income, social status, living arrangements etc. A statistical cluster of mental-health symptoms without these factors makes for a very poor manual indeed.
