“Mental wellness is a positive state of mental health. It is more than the absence of mental illness…. Being mentally well means that your mind is in order and functioning in your best interest.” – SAMH
I knew something wasn’t right…
The truth is, many forms of mental illness or distress are simply just not taken seriously enough. When someone says they are depressed, they are told to “get over it” because they’re just “moody” or “looking for attention”. When the depression starts to manifest itself in more visible or extreme ways, we say its witchcraft and we stay away from the individual lest we also “catch it”. It’s not until it’s too late; when someone commits suicide or murder that we take it seriously. That’s when people say “I knew something wasn’t right”.
