In my previous post (https://theliink.wordpress.com/2017/10/26/not-as-good-not-as-bad-as-it-seems/), I attempted to bring clarity to mental illness and health. If you had the time to read through to the end, you’d notice the quotes, by prominent persons in the field of mental health. Dr. Ghaemi even says ‘ in my view, saying someone has got psychiatric issues, is a compliment’, while Karen Nordal (A Psychologist who heads the American Psychological Association’s professional program) says that ‘some of those mental health problems can, in fact, make for greatness’.
Although, these words sure does make me feel good about being considered among the crazed, I maintain that to endure any form of issue– not just psychiatric—in peace is praiseworthy for we are all tested according to our strengths.
Secondly, every human being is great regardless of their mental status; healthy, ill or abnormal.
