Please stop using psychosis to scare people
The Issue
The stigma around mental health problems can be fatal. The fear people can have about asking for help with their mental health problems can prevent them from getting the help they need, which can lead problems to become worse. Farmageddon uses mental health problems such as psychosis and language such as insanity on its website and advertising to scare people as part of Halloween event. This is not helpful to already stigmatised health problem. People wouldn't accept it with other health problems such as cancer so why is it acceptable for psychosis? In short please stop using mental health problems to scare people.
