READER REPORT: Mental illness is about strength - not weakness123rf.com The stigma around mental illness often paints sufferers as weak - the fact is that it forces you to find strength you never knew you had. There clearly needs to be urgent action and real changes around how we view mental health and how we talk about mental illness. This got me thinking about how we view mental illness. It’s time we started making mental health less about weakness and more about strength. I am not suggesting that the world wouldn’t be a much better place if mental illness could be extinguished or prevented entirely.
