Someone the other day tried to use “schizogram” (whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean) and “the wonderland system” (referencing DID) against me just bc they disagreed with my political perspective. It’s so sad to see supposedly “progressive” ppl use such regressive humor

The term psychosis is thrown around so much

it is. i’m hoping to be a psychiatrist one day and seeing the stigmatism surrounding mental health disorders, as well as the normalization of using diagnoses as insults is really disheartening and causes so much harm to those who struggle with mental health issues.

i struggle with a few mental health disorders myself, which makes me even more passionate about advocacy when it comes to mental health. i keep seeing this in our community and it’s really bothering me, i know we’re better than this. admittedly, i’m a mod and can just take down the posts but i also don’t want people to feel silenced. i do want people to be more conscientious because their words are harmful and create more stigmatism around mental health disorders like psychosis and

specifically schizophrenia. being delusional does not mean the individual has schizophrenia, and there are already so many untrue misconceptions about schizophrenia as well as schizoaffective disorder and anything in the realm of psychosis (for example, people with those mental health disorders are a risk to the safety of others and dangerous. this is very much untrue) and posts like these only feed those misconceptions and fuel misinformation.
