people always want to find the easiest target. I have quite a disdain for most people these days..its so rare to come across someone who isnt completely affected...but then again I dont get out much.
also, I just hate the fact that a person can be labeled negatively and then be treated poorly according to that label..people look at that person and dont see much of an ACTUAL person. They just see the label/stereotype and it distorts their perception of who that person really is. There's a dehumanizing aspect to being labeled or stereotyped. its disgusting...and theres all SORTS of labels..someone can be labeled with some type of mental illness (even if they dont really even HAVE one) and then other people mostly just view them through a veil of preconceived notions...as soon as someone says "oh I heard that guy is manic depressive" all of a sudden that brings forth a laundry list of negative assumptions about that person....its why I cant stand unintelligent people who believe all the bullshit and hype they hear...lastly,I think misdiagnosis's happen ALOT more often than anyone would like to admit...we'd like to think that doctors are these all knowing/god-like beings but the truth is they fvck up sometimes...and with all the skewed perceptions of mental illness in this country I really think being misdiagnosed can potentially damage a patient's reputation...also its fvked up that medications like adderall can actually CAUSE depression but instead of the doctor taking you off of adderall he just prescribes you an anti-depressant....wtf....sometimes you really have to read the fine print and do your OWN research.
btw Idk of thats the right plural form of "misdiagnosis" but oh well.
