I had a case where I had a mental disorder but eventually, I found out that much of it was me being afraid of how the society will accept it. I personally thought I had a self-caused mental illness because of a psychotic episode from drug abuse. Drug abuse having a huge stigma in my country, I was afraid to seek mental health help because both my relatives and a firsthand experience with a GP were negative experiences. To me, it seemed like everyone I talked to condemned my behavior. The condemnation was so bad that the advice I received was just to avoid drugs and to not talk about the use to anyone. When I asked a GP to prescribe drugs to me which I thought would be helpful in my situation, I was basically told that as I just admitted drug abuse that would not work. Eventually, I sought mental health help (to get the drugs I sought from GP) where I was being treated from the article's perspective. I was told that instead of a mental illness, I seem to have a PTSD and the way I am having delusions is a natural behavior. I also got some drugs, not the ones I wanted, but the ones I actually needed. Either way, I finally found an authority that accepted me and my situation. Surely enough, all my symptoms disappeared within days the appointment. The experience showed me how fine line there is in mental health and how much the outside world can affect the image of yourself.
