Kanye West is a perfect example of how people still do not take mental health seriously, especially within men. https://twitter.com/elamin88/status/1286682219805904897
The same people who dehumanise Kanye West are the same people who preach "mental health is important! Talk to a friend! Get help! I'm here for you! xoxo"

Practice what you preach.
With this in mind, people don't seem to know more outside of depression and anxiety (which are the most common disorders that almost anyone can experience which can be temporary too!) So I'm going to go through the THREE clusters of mental health personality disorders.
Cluster A (the "odd, eccentric" cluster) - these include paranoid personality disorder, schizoid, and schizotypal.

The common features of the personality disorders in this cluster are social awkwardness and social withdrawal. These disorders are dominated by distorted thinking.
Cluster B (the "dramatic, emotional, erratic" cluster) - these include borderline, narcissistic, histrionic, and anti-social personality disorder. Disorders in this cluster share problems with impulse control and emotional regulation.
I'm quite passionate in sharing further awareness of those with BPD (not that I have it, but my younger sister, boyfriend and some of my closest friends do) because it has THE worst stigma and is misunderstood. Just google it and you'll know what I mean.
Cluster C (the "anxious, fearful" cluster) - these include the avoidant, dependent, and obsessive compulsive (OCD) personality disorders. These personality disorders share a high level of anxiety.
I recommend taking time to learn about these disorders because they are slightly more complex than depression and anxiety (which should be taken seriously too) and really trying to understand people's behaviours before you start slagging people off INCLUDING celebrities. Thanks.
I also want to add other disorders which can affect behaviour such as autism, aspergers, ADHD/ADD, bipolar (manic depression), and various learning disorders such as dyslexia and dyspraxia. These are all important. I don't need to go into these because you all have Google.
