Media
Before, I didn’t know much about how bad media can be because I don’t use media, but now I know that the media can say very bad things about mental disorders.
Causes of stigma and ways to reduce it
Before, I didn’t know what stigmatization is, now I know its czused by negative steriotypes and can be prevented by educating people about whats being stigmatized, helping people who are being stigmatized, including everyone, etc.
What I learned
l learned about lots of mental disorders and how they are different from what I thought they were, for example I used to think that OCD is where someone wants everything perfect, but then I found out it involves a lot more than just that and that being a perfectionist doesn’t mean you haver OCD. I also learned about stigmatization and how to prevent it.
