May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and today I just wanted to take a moment to spotlight some Scary Mommy pieces on the topic and give you a little food for thought. First up, today, we’ve got a Natasha McKee piece about the casual, thoughtless ways people throw stigmatizing language around:
“That's another difficulty that comes with living with mental illness or mental health challenges. Not only is the disorder you live with physically exhausting, but it’s also very trying, having to backtrack and explain to people how offensive those off-the-cuff remarks are.” Something to think about.
