Why is discussion of mental health issues considered so taboo? "Rude" even?
If someone describes some oddity about a part of their body and one replies with information pertaining to how that certain oddity could be indicative of a particular medical condition as it is often a symptom of such that is usually taken as simply information.
If someone describes an oddity about the way they think or perceive something and one replies with how that certain oddity could be indicative of a particular mental condition as it is often a symptom of such that seems to be taken as "rude" or mean or calling names.
If one has the first scenario they aren't likely to be deemed confrontational or rude, but the second they will be.
Shouldn't mental health be openly discussed more anyway? There is such a stigma attached to it. Like it is an insult or slight to even have it hinted upon that someone could have a mental health issue. People don't respond with such an air of being appalled if you mention that they could have a medical condition that should likely be checked into, but mention just the possibility that someone could have a mental condition and people lose their composure entirely.
Shouldn't mental health be as openly discussed as medical? Wouldn't it increase the chances of treatment and acceptance? The more people are shush shush about it the more it is treated as some dirty little thing to be ashamed of.
