Do you view people with certain mental health disorders differently?

Asked by MakeItSo1701 (13926points) 2 months ago

Borderline Personality Disorder is probably one of the most stigmatized disorders. Lots of people assume everyone with BPD is abusive, and manipulative.

Narcissistic personality disorder is another extremely stigmatized one, some of same stereotypes as BPD.

Basically any personality disorder is very stigmatized.

Some Insurance companies even refuse to cover treatment for these personality disorders.

Schizophrenia is another one people are very judgemental on.

optional side question:
Have you heard of BPD? I am always willing to discuss it and help break some of that stigma. It is very important to me and I am very open about how I have acted in the past, and how I am working towards getting better. I am diagnosed with BPD, so I am no stranger to the way people view us
