In this video, I'll be going over some of the myths about mental health and mental illness and debunking them. As someone with mental illness, I have gotten my fair share of comments from people telling me some of the things mentioned. I think it's important to talk about why these myths are, in fact, myths and the harm that occurs when people say such things.
