Schizophrenia is often misunderstood, surrounded by myths and stigma that make life harder for those affected. On this day, we focus on raising awareness, recognizing signs, and promoting early care to support individuals living with schizophrenia and their families.

Mental illness is often misunderstood because of stigma, fear, and misinformation. Myths like “mental illness is weakness” or “people with mental illness are dangerous” only create more silence and harm. Understanding the facts helps build compassion, awareness, and support for those struggling. 💙

#MEAwarenessDay

ME/CVS-patiënten wachten gemiddeld 5 jaar op een diagnose. Vaak wordt hun lijden afgedaan als "psychisch" of "ingebeeld". Onbegrip en onvoldoende kennis bij artsen en instanties maakt hun strijd nog zwaarder. Tijd voor verandering. 💙 #MEcvs #EndTheStigma

Stigma grows in silence. Healing begins in community. 🤝
For too long, talking about mental health has been seen as a sign of weakness — especially in rural communities.
But the truth is, speaking up takes incredible courage.
Today, challenge yourself: have one honest conversation about mental health.
It could be with a friend, a family member, or even yourself. Let's normalize the conversation.

#BreakTheStigma #NortheastRadioSD #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #RuralMentalHealth #EndTheStigma

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This month is a time to continue the conversation around mental health, #EndTheStigma about seeking support, and be there for each other.

You are not alone 🩵
