RE: Psychology Addict # 52 | Mental Illness – A Straight-Forward Discussion about a Non Straight-Forward Topic.
Goodness me Green! What a wonderful surprise to see your comment here in my feed 😃 I thought of you not long ago, when a discussion about Elon Musk unfolded during a family gathering.
The situation you described here just illustrates the whole new "category" people tend to place psychological disorders in! And of course, as you also observed, depending on the local culture they range from being something "spiritual" to being something "unreal".
However, just the fact that people like you have the energy and will to challenge this type of belief and attempt to shake superstition off other's views, makes me optimistic about what the future hold for the understanding of mental illness :)
Thank you so much for stopping by Green!
I wish you a wonderful rest of the day ❤
Ps: Congratulations on your 2-year Steemit Anniversary. We have been around these quarters for the same length of time.
Wow, that's a nice thing to say. Imagine me in the Elon Musk discussion :) Thank you for the well wish.
I've been around, just lost in my little world. The outside world aka work is taking all my time these days. I'm fighting it so I can win and get more time for me time :) Hahaha.
It's always a pleasure to read your article, which I often share with people who tend to think there is something so much extraordinary about mental problems. I guess we have movies like Exorcist to blame for this :(
Thank you so much Green! This truly means a lot to me. Yeah, mainstream media and the entertainment industry don't make mental health professional's lives any easier 😣
You take care & have a wonderful week! :)
Thank you
It's an another Friday :)
