Fuck Your Hashtags

Hi neurotypicals!

Look. I get it. You want to do your part to #endthestigma.

But it’s not just “stigma” that’s the issue here.

It’s the ease of access to professional medical attention.

Sure, feeling like you have the right to get help – including medical attention – is a big deal. And public awareness and support helps out.

But it doesn’t matter if there is no access to said help.

If you truly want to support mental health issues then tweeting about #stigma is not enough.

I would like to suggest that you start looking at ways to make professional medical support accessible, and affordable for those that need it.

Thank you for your time!
