National Silence The Shame Day
National Silence the Shame Day, on May 5th, provides an opportunity to continue the discussion of mental health and wellness as well as removing stigma associated with mental illness.
Mental disorders, as with every other health problem, are diagnosed at different stages.. It may have fewer symptoms from time to time and/or an effect on our daily activities.. It is also important to know that mental disorders are treatable and recovery is possible.
Unlike other aspects of our health care, many people don't have an affordable or accessible routine plan of care for mental health problems. Individuals with access often live in silence due to the stigma of being diagnosed.
The shame day is a national silence that has sparked debate about mental health, fitness, mental health, and recovery
