Let's all go inside of us:

Often it happens to us unconsciously and most of us have already experienced it.

A few classic examples:

Tattooed from top to bottom = "Is a criminal"

A colorful, crazy hairstyle and destroyed jeans = "Will rebel / has no job"

 

This is how it goes for people with mental disorders:

Mentally disordered = "Is dangerous, is lazy, it is your own fault"

 

STOP!!

 

We exclude ourselves with this way of thinking and also burden people with mental disorders.

 

But how should we treat people with mental disorders?

 

• impartial

• factual: inform yourself, get advice and / or support from professional contact points (e.g. psychiatrists, psychotherapists).

• keep in mind: "It is not a weakness to be helped, but a strength" (quote from Prof. Dr. Eggers)

• tries to encourage / support them (it is right and important to get help)
