Alot of people think its just i your mind and its fake because they can't see anything physical but when you start behaving strangley might be the only time people might notice this condition. Mental illness for the most part it an invisible disorder unlike being physically disabled.

Thanks for your honesty & bravery.I'm open bout my mental illness & attempt to educate people tho receiving ridicule as well..if I can help anyone my vulnerability is worth it no matter how much hurt.People suffer to varying degrees & mental health is still so stereotyped,shunned,denied.I'v­e gone thru alot & struggled 20+ yrs.-still get so frustrated by peoples ignorance.I'll always battle this disease daily,but must remember not alone & as lovable as any,even those "functional" peps!

@Blarson11 A very slippery slope, conceptually! I do not subscribe to mental illness, but in the metaphorical, and legalistic-moral sense. Being labeled as mentally ill, is a way of framing problems in living and social conflict, and is as a "medical" and "biological" condition, such is very recent. Behaving badly need not capture the attention of those who are the labelers and stigmatizers, but when such attention is sought (or not), then, the psychiatrist is the social engineer par excellence.

Notice how I am not "fun69stein" and I did not post that. I am supportive, I have the issue myself

[realsamwise]

I would like to point out again that this person is not me.. *I* have a bi-polar issue and *I* am supportive.
