I agree. Talking about someones mental illness in a public forum is inappropriate. Even if well intended.
Is it ? Would you have the same issues with people talking about someone having a cold ?
This us the problem with mental illness, people still talk about it in hushed tones like it is a taboo subject.
Because of people's reluctance to talk about mental illness it keeps the stigma alive.
Mental illness is no different to any other illness. Everyone has or will suffer with some form of mental illness from time to time, even if they are willing to admit it or not.
it needs to be discussed more and talked about openly. it is one of the biggest health issues of the western world but there is no shame in it or asking for help
