Mental Illness Awareness "Is It Right"

cops kill alot of people who have mental illness.they take all their frustrations out on them.they beat them to death or hang them and then tell their families that they killed themselves.its really sad.the last person i would want to help me is a cop.cops got serious issues to began with and they turn into bullies and abuse the very people they are suppose to protect.the mentally ill are helpless in jail and hopeless.i hope one day that this will change.

You've named my greatest fear... dying without anyone caring. I only have a minor mental health disorder, it doesnt affect me very much, but it gives me enough incite into this to really be terrified...

i think my sister has someting like this.. she just so strange, she actually freaks me out and u feel nervous around.. if som1 tink dey cud help nd talk to her send me a personal msg nd i giv her msn coz she wont talk to me

I was psychotic (Bipolar Type I) and tried to break into a house that I thought was mine. I was in jail hallucinating and highly delusional. Instead of helping me the officers made fun of me and decided to spray me with lice spray one night. I now have a criminal record and I can't get a job. I was TORTURED. I have a college degree and I am on welfare.

The answer is that regardless of what people do or don't do - we have a loving, good Creator God in Jesus Christ. He has the ability to change lives, minds and hearts and give new life when we believe upon Him and call upon Him in faith.

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

this really hits it on the spot mental illness can affect anyone at anytime. so dont rule yourself out or say that will never happen to me. well yes it can and it can happen to you in the blink of an eye. we all need to stand together as one and let our voices be heard!!!

very well said and done. i'm so scared.

society around all disabilitys must change its approach i have worked with people who are death blind have a phisical disability or learning difficulties also people experinceing mental health issues all of which are now contributing members of a society that held them down for so long dont give up this is your fight and united you will win ITS THE SAME OLD I CANT DO YOU CANT DO BUT (WE!!!!!!!!!!!!!)CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I experienced postpartum depression after the birth of my second son. The hospital's response? To call the state police, have me put in cuffs and leg irons, and drag me a hundred miles from my home to be locked in a dirty facility and drugged into incoherence. It happens, it happens every day, and it happens right here in America.

Very poignant video, awareness and acceptance that mental health care should be considered by insurance co.s and health care professionals the same as any serious human illness. There should be no stigma, everyone deserves a healthy happy life. My 21 year old sister died because of lack of proper treatment.

Yes I agree as the old saying goes the squeakiest wheel is what is dealt with first. Eventually someone will listen and things will get done!

i live with it every day too and it makes me want to yell as loudly as i can CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS A HEALTH CRISIS! nobody seems to be listening, but the more voices that chime in the louder the message becomes

You are welcome . . . I fear this in my own life to be honest. Were I live a man really did die while waiting for medical treatment.
I have bipolar 1 and this is a reality in my life. No I havent been put behind bars but it could happen. and it is not fair!

THANK YOU for posting this. this is my daily fight for beating a stigma and my life's work. i am glad to see more people advocating for those to speak up and examine their world. KUDOS to you for this!
