The Bigger Stigma, re mental health (25)

MissToria's profile . MissToria's homepage

Posted by MissToria on Fri 2 Feb 07, 3:45 PM to MissToria's blog.

A short and sweet blog this one.

Just to remark that the most ridiculously prejudiced views I've encountered have been from mental health professionals themselves.

That's it, just needed to get it off my chest.

"yes yes, four kids, no husband, this bad, very bad, no wonder you stressed out person, need man quickly"

I swear I used to attend these appointments because his madness made me feel more sane.

after my husband died when I was hiding behind the freezer when anyone came to the door and my then 8 year old was having to answer it my Dr said, well you don't present as depressed.

call me a fool but I would think that when someone is widowed with small children they'd be checking for it.

Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"/ Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night.""

Agree totally. That was my view when I worked within that sector, and was even more frustrating, because "they should know better" came into it.

I've been told I speak too eloquently to be ill. It would appear you have to grunt to be unwell. maybe mkane should get checked out ;)

yep, thats the kind of prejudice I'm talking about.

That anyone who is moderately articulate or has half a brain is clearly not unwell.

Apparently being able to co-ordinate your wardrobe falls prey to the same assesment.
