Whatever the case this convo is a necessary part OF the over MH conversation, & it’s impt that it be discussed in the context of overall treatment.

Spent a whole post yesterday talking abt the awful effects that can happen when the media conflates mental health & mental illness, & uses extreme cases as THE example. Now time (no pun intended), to applaud a media outlet for incredibly well-thought-out coverage of mental health (on a continuum). I’ll share this article link in …
