Slide 19-

Mental Health Problems- The Facts: People feel very uncomfortable talking about mental health A reason for this is stigma People with mental illness can be stereotyped and discriminated against By ridiculing someone we create a barrier that makes us think we aren’t like that person. We want to believe ‘that could never be me’. For some people the impact of stigma is worse than the symptoms of their illness. We are frightened of mental illness in a way that we are not about physical illness.
Slide 20-

Mental Health Problems- The Facts: Psychiatrists are all too aware of the issue of stigma. It affects every sphere of our work. It makes people reluctant to admit that they are struggling with mental health difficulties and this can delay treatment and support. We are aware of how people’s recovery can be held back by the barriers that stigma creates, often through problems encountered at work. To reduce stigma and discrimination we need much better education. Teaching people the facts about mental health problems and getting rid of the myths.
Slide 21-

Mental Health Problems- The Facts: ALL mental health problems can be helped by: Support Talking Therapies Medications The prognosis for the vast majority of conditions is very positive with the right help In most cases, even those with long term conditions can be supported to lead full & productive lives including employment.
