| I am 1 in a Million Most people keep mental disorders like Major Depression, PTSD, and Social Phobia a secret, because they fear being rejected by family & friends, harassed, fired or not hired, fenied child custody, etc. Every year, 50 million U.S. adults have a mental disorder. If just one out of every 50 admits this, without shame or embarrassment: Others will learn that mental disorders don’t come from personal weakness, and don’t make people violent or unpredictable. More people will feel comfortable seeking treatment. Two thirds of people who need treatment don’t ask for it. We will help each other stand up to discrimination. So, if you have a mental disorder or illness, join anonymously. Wait for 999,999 others. Come out together, one million strong. http://www.iam1inamillion.net/ | |
