GRAPHIC: Physical Illness Vs Mental Illness

Our society doesn’t treat mental illness in the same severity as physical illness. Why? Well, it is hard to point a finger at one particular reason. However, lack of information/education, might be one of the top reasons why we tend to discard our own mental illnesses/issues and others’ as well. We somehow believe that Mental illness isn’t serious, and we should “MAN-UP” and face challenges in life, and not be a WUSS about it.

This isn’t a kind thing to say, is it? When there are ways to better understand our issues, work on them with professional assistance, and become better beings, then why not utilise it? Here are the usual BS reasons people throw about, when it comes to mental illness. Images courtesy: BUZZFEED.
