Breaking the Stigma: Expanding Behavioral and Mental Health Services for a Better Tomorrow
For decades, mental health has been surrounded by fear and misunderstanding. Many people have been told to “stay strong” or “just get over it,” which only exacerbates the situation. This attitude creates stigma—a harmful belief that mental illness is something to hide. In truth, mental health struggles are everyday, and seeking help should never be seen as a weakness. Breaking the stigma begins with understanding. Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act every day. Just like physical health, it needs care and attention. Anxiety, depression, and stress are not personal failures—they are real conditions that can be treated. When people talk openly about their experiences, it helps others realize they are not alone.
