This #BellLetsTalk initiative sounds great. Mental health is a major concern of mine, having suffered from OCD disablingly in the past, tho almost completely on top of it now. I think it is very important to get the right balance re: stigma & talking about it tho.

We need to support people living with mental illness to achieve their full potential, and not be judgemental about mental health issues. We also need to be very wary of certain identity politics around the issue which encourages the taking on of mental illness as an identity.

This is worrying in the same way as taking on obesity as an identity is worrying. It discourages working to overcome or improve a serious health problem & demands others make allowances for it which may or may not be reasonable, humane or helpful to the sufferer.
