MYTH ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS
MYTH: “People who experience mental illness are weak and cannot handle stress.”
FACT: “Stress impacts well-being, but this is true for everyone. People who experience mental illnesses may actually be better at managing stress than people who haven’t experienced mental illnesses. Many people who experience mental illnesses learn skills such as stress management, mental health coping skills, and problem-solving strategies so they can take care of stress before it affects their well-being. Taking care of yourself and asking for help when you need it are signs of strength, not weakness” (NAMI, 2024).
