Stigmas and Mental Illness
What do you think stigma means?Common Misconceptions About Mental Illness
“Young people and children don’t suffer from mental health problems.” Fact: It is estimated that more than 6 million young people in America
may suffer from a mental health disorder that severely disrupts their ability to function at home, in school, or in their community.
“People who need psychiatric care should be locked away in institutions.”
Fact: Today, most people can lead productive lives within their communities thanks to a variety of supports, programs, and/or medications.
“A person who has had a mental illness can never be normal.” Fact: People with mental illnesses can recover and resume normal
activities. For example, Mike Wallace of “60 Minutes”, who has clinical depression, has received treatment and today leads an enriched and accomplished life.

Mental Illness Myths cont…
“Mentally ill persons are dangerous.” Fact: The vast majority of people with mental
illnesses are not violent. In the cases when violence does occur, the incidence typically results from the same reasons as with the general public such as feeling threatened or excessive use of alcohol and/or drugs.
“People with mental illnesses can work low-level jobs but aren’t suited for really important or responsible positions.”
Fact: People with mental illnesses, like everyone else, have the potential to work at any level depending on their own abilities, experience and motivation.

Help people with mental illness reenter society. Support their efforts to obtain housing and jobs.
