Do you feel guilty for having a mental illness?!
Question:
Do you feel guilty for having a mental illness?
If you do, in what ways?
If not, I'd be interested to know the way you perceive your illness.
Answers:
No, I don't feel guilty for having a mental illness. It was liberating to find out that there was a reason for my emotional turmoil, and gave me the courage to seek treatment. No one should feel guilty, you did not do anything to cause your illness. These days people are more open and accepting of individuals with a mental illness, which, in turn, makes seeking treatment easier.
