Have you ever felt sad?
You’re depressed!
Have you ever been worried?
You have anxiety!
Is your room clean?
You have OCD!
Do you feel like yourself?
You have DID!
Have you ever talked to yourself?
You have schizophrenia!
Are you happy, then sad?
You’re bipolar!
Do you eat enough?
You’re anorexic!
Do you think about death?
You’re suicidal!
Hearing theses scenarios on television
Causes severe, even lethal, tunnel vision.
You’re depressed!
Have you ever been worried?
You have anxiety!
Is your room clean?
You have OCD!
Do you feel like yourself?
You have DID!
Have you ever talked to yourself?
You have schizophrenia!
Are you happy, then sad?
You’re bipolar!
Do you eat enough?
You’re anorexic!
Do you think about death?
You’re suicidal!
Hearing theses scenarios on television
Causes severe, even lethal, tunnel vision.
I hear these ads on TV and stuff all the time, and I’m not hating on those who have mental illnesses (even I have one) but sometimes the media really skews what mental illnesses are like.
