Episode 6. Stigma Series: The relationship between language and stigma
We’ve all heard the words ‘crazy’, ‘insane’, ‘mentally unwell’ and ‘psycho’, but how does this type of language impact those who have a mental health condition? In our conclusion of the Stigma Series, in this episode we will look at how language contributes to stigma in mental health. We will go over common terms and phrases used to describe mental illness and offer more empathetic alternatives. We will also chat about what we can do to change our language around mental health.
