Submission: Conversation around mental health must change

While tabling at the Enormous Activities Fair for “All of Us: A Campaign to Rethink Mental Health,” I asked several people what the first thing that came to their mind was when I said “mental health.”
Unfortunately, most answers to that question included “disorder,” “disability,” “disease,” “insanity,” “craziness,” “suicide” and “depression.” Most of these responses gave evidence to the fact that mental health is very stigmatized.
