RE: Psychology Addict # 52 | Mental Illness – A Straight-Forward Discussion about a Non Straight-Forward Topic.

in #psychology5 years ago
I have heard stories of people being hacked to death by a mentally ill person and as a result, I try to put some distance between myself and any mentally unstable person.

I completely understand your sentiment here, especially when you have heard horrifying stories like that. Also, It would be irresponsible of me to deny the presence of psychopathology among for example, violent offenders. But, my dear Shaid, please try not to put all those suffering from psyhological disturbances in the same box. After all, good, ordinary people are also capable of unpredictably committing horrendous actions Ref.

Having said that, I would like to thank you for also sharing here the experience you had with your sister! It is an example that gives hope and illustrates more accurately the reality of mental illness. A reality that despite being frightening and overwhelming does not rule out a life of happiness and emotional stability :)

I will definitely be sharing this on my twitter page.

😃 THANK YOU, you are my rock star! :*

Sending bags of love to you and little Rhamon (he is so big already! :D)
