I’ve been getting a lot of hate on this drawing because some people claim that I’m saying that all people with mental disorders are ok and they just want attention or that there is no such thing as mental illness.
I’m not saying that at all. I was directing this post at people who say “OH MY GOD IM SO ADHD” or “i’m so DEPRESSED” when they really just want attention and haven’t gone to a doctor to get diagnosed. Or at people who take a self diagnose quiz online and regarding that as a reliable source when it really isn’t.
Apparently its really “trendy” to have a mental illness like depression or social anxiety cause people want to want to be ‘different’. What i’m not saying is that people with actual depression or social anxiety need to get over it, i’m saying that people who haven’t gone to the doctor to get diagnosed need to stop claiming they have something they might not even have.
If you think something is wrong, go to the doctor. Don’t just claim you have something when you don’t because it offends a lot of people that actually have that illness.
