There is a difference between awareness and alertness. Where alertness requires only attention, awareness demands knowledge. It is not only the casual behavior of using sentences like ‘you just need a vacation’ and not accepting the medical nature of the problem that stops a sufferer to share. It is also the stigma that we have formed around the word ‘mental health’. We seek no knowledge and attach terrifying terms with everything related to the term ‘mental health’ which only increases the fear of seeking help. Truth is hard but it doesn’t need to be treated harshly.
