Mental health problems are HEALTH issues.. just like cancer, diabetes, etc. So why are people with mental illnesses looked at/treated differently?
Mental illness is perhaps one of the most discrediting attributes a person can have and can be linked to so many different negative stereotypical traits (e.g., dangerousness, weakness, incompetence) all widely misunderstood by the public population and negatively portrayed in the media.
