Destigmatize Mental Illness!!

The Issue

I propose changing the term "Mental Illness" to the term "Neurological Brain Disorder (NBD)"

Currently called Mental Illness include Depression Bi-polar schizophrenia and Anxiety.

We often hear the term mental illness thrown around in a disrespectful and derogatory way.

Mental Illness should be reclassified as Neurological Brain Disorders (NBD) as it is the correct term scientifically.

What Neurological brain disorders are NOT is lazy, unintelligent, incapable, untrustworty, spiritual crisis, poor charater, weak personality, They are physical diseases of the brain and should be treated as such.

Just think of it this way do we still call physicians quacks? Do we still think having a seizure is demonic possession? No we have come along way but we still have along way to go.

Come on people lets get rid of the ghosts and term mental illness so we can destigmatize what truely is a neurological brain disorder.
