- blazarquasar 1y agoThese disorders don't exist on the same spectrum. There is no point in comparing the two. Both can be absolutely debilitating. People that feel the need to compare severity of disorders like you do actively contribute to the stigma and invalidation of severe disorders. Tell the families of the more than 700k people that commit suicide every year that "depression is very mild by comparison". An absolutely ignorant comment.
- jerlendds 1y agoWell we agree they exist on different spectrums. The suicide rate is also very bad for psychotic disorders although far fewer people suffer from them. Having faced stigma and invalidation for my issues I suppose I let that rub off on me to the point I stigmatized others. Thanks for pointing that out, I suppose I should be more mindful in the future
- blazarquasar 1y agoI appreciate your reply. Psychotic disorders are absolutely debilitating and any stigma and invalidation towards those is just as shameful. I understand your reaction and I apologize if I was being a little too confrontational. I guess we both share a similar history of stigmatization.
