"How we talk about Mental Health"

[Fedup]

The things one goes through with epilepsy have had an affect on some or all of us at some time. Some of us are very lucky when it comes to our ability to deal with this major change in our lives and the side effects of any medication prescribed for us by doctors or from natural resources we ourselves use. Mental health is and always will be a very serious problem no matter the condition or amount of conditions we come in contact with, for this reason alone we should bear in mind that some topics or issues may/will have a negative impact on a persons life. Bearing this in mind even though a topic is relevant the impact it can have, though not intended, in imposing a thought in one persons mind can be extremely damaging. Without and not realising what this thought can cause or do. Remembering that with any and all life treating issues help should be sought immediately and should be refereed to the proper medical personal. It is for this reason that some topics need to be avoided.

There are topics which are divisive and have no place or bearing on any of us.

It is unfortunate but necessary that even though the topic may be relevant we consider all things which can/could impact on another persons life with such a risk is the likelihood that a person may be harmed or suffer adverse health effects if exposed to this topic.

We are all here to support and help each other in anyway possible way

As you have said mental health is a very important subject and one which should not be taken lightly.
