“It is an odd paradox that a society, that can speak openly and unabashedly about topics that were once unspeakable still remains largely silent when it comes to mental illness. Illnesses that were once discussed only in hushed tones are apart of healthy conversation and activism.
Yet when it comes to bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, or depression, an uncharacteristic coyness takes over. We often say nothing. And so we marginalize people who most need our acceptance.
Our society ought to understand that many ppl with mental illness, given the right treatment, can be full participants in our society” - Glen Close
