Reply With QuoteThis site has a few good examples. The moment anyone exhibits symptoms of depression/anxiety, they're quick to say derogatory things - often to said person's detriment.
I wanted to make this thread just to see how many people share the same issue, and to hear from those who also care.
Throughout my life, I've had contact with many people that suffer from mental illnesses, regardless of whether this is just clinical depression or anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, whatever - there are always certain people who attach these things to derogatory stigmas. I've heard it so many times - sociopathic suicide jokes, the uncanny "If you slit your wrist, why don't you kill yourself?" scenarios, stereotypical horror movie plots where it turns out the reason some man stabbed 40 people was because he had schizophrenia. Does anyone else find similar issues?

So men die under the mountain just looking for gold, some die looking for a hand to hold.

Too true, hyper aggressive and hostile shitheads are prevalent around these parts of the intertubes.Originally Posted by ClockworkSoldier
I would say that most of the people who share their issues on this site are not a true reflection of people with mental illness.
That isn't to say that reacting aggressively to them isn't bad but saying "I didn't get 100 in my math test so now I have severe depression" is not indicative of someone with an actual mental disorder.
Fair point, but the few that show real symptoms cop the same - if not worse treatment.
Maybe people can't differentiate?
BTW, where is your sig from?

I would actually disagree and say that if you had a real problem people would actually help.
And I don't know, i just found it.
That's just it. If someone has depression or anxiety, they don't need a problem to feel what they do. It's just there.

You know what I meant.
Also, depression can be both circumstantial and mental.
I know. I've experienced both.
I've witnessed different, personally.
But eh. Experience = Subjectivity = Futility in discussion.

Yes and no. If you sought professional treatment you wouldn't find such issues.
Bi Polar and schizophrenia.
Yeah what up BoS
which is why people should seek *professional* help rather than from peers of a similar age group on a study forum

Professional help takes time to have an effect. What if they are currently seeking said help, but are still a target? It has happened.
Anyway, the point is that these people should not be preyed on at all.

I would never be able to tell you were schizophrenic
Is it managed with medication? Do you relapse if you are off medication?

It can be just as serious or worse than a physical illness.
