A cartoon ebook highlight ignorance towards mental health issues

[Admin]

Sometimes a smile and a laugh can make all of the difference - especially in a world where far too many people are ignorant of mental health issues and the impact they can have on a person's life.

If you have a moment check out the free cartoon e-book from our friends at Mentalhealthtalk.info which takes a tongue in cheek look at ignorances in society:-

Do you recognise any of the ignorances show in the ebook?

Well it was refreshing to see such importance issues being expressed in a lighthearted way. Mental health is often something that is addressed in a way that can really deflate you, of course some issues do need to be expressed very sensitively e.g suicidal feelings due to depression.
What I like about this cartoon is that it highlights just how silly and misunderstood some peoples opinions on mental health can be.
