Трансформация восприятия в понимании психического здоровья

Джон Томас

Mental disorders, despite being increasingly recognized as common and treatable conditions, still carry a heavy burden of stigma and misunderstanding in society. In this commentary, we delve into the complexities surrounding mental disorders, explore the impact of stigma, and advocate for a more compassionate and informed approach to mental health. Mental disorders encompass a broad range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior. From depression and anxiety to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, these conditions can significantly impair an individual's ability to function in daily life. Yet, they are often misunderstood and stigmatized, leading to discrimination, isolation, and barriers to seeking help.
