Mental Illness or Excuse? Experts Tackle a Tough Question

So it's really putting things at the right proportions, I think, right, David, being able to keep your negative feeling at a certain base level, and I think concentrating on the positive and not so much on the negative and using as a justification is probably your best bet, and I think that's part of society right now.
Ever wondered if mental health issues are sometimes used as a cover for poor behavior? In this eye-opening episode of 'Addiction, Recovery, and Mental Health', hosts Clare Waismann and David Livingston dive into this controversial topic. They tackle the delicate balance between acknowledging genuine mental health struggles and avoiding harmful stereotypes. It's a discussion that goes beyond black-and-white thinking, exploring how stigma, diagnosis, and self-esteem play crucial roles in shaping our perceptions of mental health.
