Sadly there's still a lot of ignorant prejudice and discrimination against the mentally ill in today's society.
My dad suffered from bipolar disorder, and because of that he faced a lot discrimination throughout his life due to the stigma of mental illness. I myself was diagnosed with PTSD when I was a kid, but because how mental illness is portrayed in the media, people still fear it.
The funny thing is, racist discrimination has been successfully fought against, the same with sexist, homophobic, classist, colorist, elitist etc... But what about psychophobia?

I'm asking this cos I have been reading all the answers to my last q. I can picture some of those weddings, the romantic ones, the happy stories and memories, the sad ones where some of you have lost your partners after long and happy marriages, the dads that weren't there to give you away.
Anyway, I am sat here with tears in my eyes now cos I feel like I've been to your weddings! Thank you for sharing your stories with us all. I don't know how I am going to choose ba out of them cos they are all deserving.
My question is, why do you think we feel the need to cry at weddings when it is a happy occasion?
That's my tears spent for the day! l feel great now! lol x

Why do so many people assume Muslim women are oppressed because they wear the Islamic Veil (Hijaab)?
If a Catholic Nun chooses to wear a habit, she is considered pious and devoting herself to God.... but a Muslim woman chooses to wear hijaab and she is considered oppressed.
Why?
The Virgin Mary wore a veil, reverred in both Christianity and Islam as a most pious woman, yet she was not oppressed. But if a Muslim woman chooses to wear hijaab, she is considered oppressed.
Why?
Serious answers only please.
