Is discrimination on mental health grounds still a thing?

Having suffered from depression in the past, I still wonder if discrimination towards me still exists.

The obvious answer is it does. It's a tough lesson that people through their ignorance and reading of sensational headlines in the media fall foul of the stocking of fear and resentment towards those who suffer.  

Often this is due to the ignorance and lack of understanding and knowledge on the part of the discriminator. Hence why I continue to write these blog posts in the hope of educating others and help prevent such discrimination.

Mental Health issues can take many forms some can be a result of physical trauma. Some can be stress related where you become overwhelmed with self doubt. It can come in many, many forms. The individual can suffer in many ways it is often extremely difficult for the sufferer to verbalise or put into words so that the victim of discrimination is not victimised further by talking about such things. However it is a very important part of the healing process to talk about such matters. There can be trigger points where a victim can come across a situation or location which triggers a negative reaction. The victim will often do their best to stay away from such situations or locations. However sometimes it cannot be helped and so the victim has to guard against the overwhelming emotional affect that they might face,

Such emotional responses can of course be provoked and exploited by others. This exploitation and humiliating practices by bullies and humiliators often provoke them in private so that they cannot be legally challenged. Then run away. Denying all culpability. It must be a fun game for such individuals. Seeking out victims and humiliating them in such  a manner that cannot be proven without substantial evidence.

You would think such practices would no longer exist. With many organisations with policies in place to prevent such practices.

There are many more organisations highlighting the issues of mental health every day.

One of the most important aspect of dealing with someone with mental health issues is to speak to them. They may have issues however the best therapy is to talk to them and get to know them and work through any issues. To let them know that they are not alone in dealing with such issues and they are just trying to work through the issues in the best way they can, and are just in need of a little help.

There are of course people who do understand and are there to help. Often it just takes perseverance and patience to find it.

Does writing this blog post mean I don't get promoted as I should?

Do people assume that he admits he can't handle pressure.

I would say quite the opposite. I understand the pressures that can be put on people and would mitigate against such unhealthy practices.
