Mental disorders should not be hastily defined | Mary O'Hara | Society | The Guardian

Mental disorders should not be hastily defined | Mary O'Hara | Society | The Guardian

Quote: "When it comes to mental health, the diagnostic labels matters far beyond their clinical applications. A diagnosis all too quickly becomes a label by which an individual is defined and judged, which in turn becomes a catalyst for stigma and discrimination. There is evidence from the campaign, Time to Change, and others, that, even while there are some signs of a reduction, stigma and discrimination around mental illness are devilishly entrenched – with sometimes devastating consequences for those on the receiving end."

“Great changes start with individuals; the basis of world peace is inner peace in the hearts of individuals. This is something we can all work for. If what you’ve heard here interests you, if you think it’s something you can act on, share it with others. If there are a thousand people here and each of you shares this with ten friends, ten thousand people will hear about it, and so on. That’s the way we can change our minds and change the world. Thank you.”
