The crippling taboo attitude pertaining to mental illness

Standard

Undoubtedly one of the biggest issues that the average person faces when they have to deal with mental illness, regardless of whether it is their fault or not, regardless of degree or extent or similar, is support from society; the message from the world to people that are mentally ill is essentially “too bad for you, suck it up and don’t run amok, otherwise we’re going to put you in a straight jacket and feed you happy pills and keep you in a padded cell”. “If something’s wrong with you physically, you’re more than welcome to visit a hospital or a medical clinic of any kind”.

If you have a problem of a material or physical nature, the world embraces you metaphorically but if it’s the other way around the world pretty much chastises you for being mentally ill, despite the fact that more than a few of people in the world are not at fault for being traumatized. It goes without saying that no one wants to be mentally afflicted – no one wants to suffer from mental disorders. In fact, the average person would rather as a figure of speech be a paraplegic than actually suffer debilitating levels of mental illness. As I have already stated in the past regarding the subject, mental illness is the ultimate illness – you’re mentally ill? Game over. You’ll watch your life decline to the point where you are destitute. You’ll be miserable and in pain for the rest of your life. Why does the world have this attitude or mentality? A variety of reasons, but the main reason being ignorance & subject-based sensitivity; everyone “knows what’s going on” but pretends that that’s not the case. You are simply left out in the cold and that’s the end of things. And once again, like I’ve stated already, psychological detrimency is like being crippled to the point where you’re a vegetable times a thousand – only the very few individuals out of all the billions of people in the world have what it takes to actually identify the problem all the while biting through the pain of self admittance and acknowledgment, finding a healing modus operandi, and curing themselves. Think of it as someone that gets their stomach sliced open by a sharp object, and then their guts protrude out; how many people do you know that are not going to die in such a situation? How many people do you know that actually have what it takes to literally and figuratively speaking put themselves back together and stitch themselves up and then go on to live happily ever after, so to speak? Exactly.
