I know there are some charities espeically for mental health, such as MIND in the UK. But it really gets on my nerves that there isn't so much awareness over these things than other charities like Cancer research, Children and animal charities. I guess mental health charities wouldn't make for good adverts/commercials.
I just feel like research for mental health is just as important as anything else because living like this is hell. I'm by no means saying cancer or anything like that isn't terrible because it IS, it's just if you have your mind you can fight physical things somewhat, but when you have a mental illness the one tool you could use to help you through your sickness happens to be the one tool that is broken. Does this make sense?
I just think there should be more awareness of mental health, more charities and not so much stigma.
