6 Big Misconceptions about Mental Illness You Can Relate to

People are often afraid of seeking treatment for their symptoms of mental health problems because they worry about how the rest of the world will perceive them. Will my boss rethink his decision of promoting me? Will I be a burden to my girlfriend? What will my family and friends think of me? These are all common questions that people with mental illness or health problems fear. As a result, seeking professional help is usually postponed due to the stigma surrounding mental illnesses.
