Mental Illness If you read my review of this app, I made a joke about it.
I want to include it in my favorites list because I think anything that can make us more aware of mental illness and the role it plays in our society helps to remove the stigma from it. Many people suffer because they don't want to be labeled. And worse, many are discriminated against or treated unfairly for a condition that is not their fault. I would say that society needs to be more tolerant, but that still implies something is "wrong" with someone else and it takes a special effort on society's part to accommodate them. The fact is the only thing that is really "wrong" about mental illness is how society treats the mentally ill and thinks about them, even if it is only in our minds, which is even worse because then it is an individuals issue that becomes reenforced by society and vice versa. Break the cycle become educated and aware- by any means necessary.-
