Rupert Wolfe Murray commented on FW's blog post Too intelligent to be crazy or too crazy to be intelligent?
"This is a very honest post. Well done for posting it.  The fact your support worker said you're "too intelligent to use the service" is incredible; and it shows how he/she has a total lack of understanding of what is mental…"

‘see me’ is Scotland’s national campaign to end the stigma and discrimination of mental ill-health. We are owned and run by an alliance of five mental health organisations and fully funded by the Scottish Government.

1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem at some time in our lives. Three quarters of us know someone with a mental health problem.

The stigma of mental ill-health has been called ‘one of the last great taboos’. People with mental health problems often tell us that the reactions of family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues and employers is harder to deal with the illness itself.

This site is to give you a voice. Follow the blogs and get involved in discussions in the forum. You can also upload your own photos and videos.

Visit www.seemescotland.org for further information about the 'see me' campaign.

In this video clip Audrey…

Too intelligent to be crazy or too crazy to be intelligent?

I'm sick of the perception that I'm "too intelligent" to have the problems that I have because of my mental health. Many people who experience mental health issues say that they are perceived as 'stupid', 'crazy', 'useless' etc. I seem to have the opposite problem - my experience has been that there is this idea that if you articulate and "clever" you have no right to suffer or more importantly, to fuck up. 

 

Well I am a graduate, studying for a second degree. I speak…
