General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
Thanks, Dostaf - I wasn't aware of that. Children, indeed people, can be cruel and some aspects of campaigns can prove to be counterproductive.
However, I think many issues surrounding mental health are still misunderstood and sometimes regarded as a taboo subject and campaigns might help to address this problem.
'1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in any given year.
Often the fact that it’s difficult to talk about mental health problems can be one of the hardest parts of having a mental illness. It can lead to the loss of friendships, feeling isolated, not seeking help and slower recovery. '
I agree with the points you highlighted in purple 16:51 - those concerns may be arguably necessary evils at present. Hopefully good advances will be made in the field of mental health - it still seems to be in its infancy to me.
