ALT Mental health stigma looks like...
"You shouldn't have kids, you'd just pass on your issues, so selfish!"
"All women are a bit bipolar!"
"Mental illness is just an excuse to live off of benefits and not contribute to society."
"Everyone has anxiety, some people are just stronger than you are."
"Therapy and medications are just scams, you don't need all that."
"What do you mean you can't get out of bed? It's not like your legs aren't working."
"Kids and teens can't have mental illness, what have they got to worry about in life?"
