Someone asked “Why do people admit to others they have mental illness?”
I responded with the following.Great question, and there are several parts of this response. Preamble. To admit something almost suggest that you are doing something wrong. Though there are times when honesty with self and others is required and necessary in many aspects of our lives, but there might not be anything inherent to “admit” when someone has an illness. Though that’s not to suggest that some illnesses do have an impact on others around us.Emachi Eneje4 min read
