Ghosts are just your brain breaking down in to schizophrenia.
- thanksgiving 2y agoI really wish it was easier to talk about mental disorders. People with (mild?) mental disorders manage to live ordinary lives just fine. I remember listening to one specialist on a radio show who claimed that at least half the population (in one particular developing country) suffered from some kind of mental disorders but nobody comes for treatment because people think of you are getting treatment for any kind of mental disorders, you must have "gone mad" and are therefore completely unreliable and therefore must lose all your licenses, work privileges, family responsibilities etc. So people are scared to come forward and ignorance rules.
- _yb2s 2y agoIndeed, many of the successful people I know personally have struggled with some type of mental health disorder, and/or developmental disorder, but find it to taboo - and dangerous for their career to talk about it. I think once it is no longer taboo people will be able to accommodate and manage these situations better, and people with them won’t have to be afraid and secretive that they will be “found out” or aren’t suitable for their jobs, etc. Just because someone can hide it or still do their job doesn’t make it “mild” either.
