The stigma in talking about your illness and entering a psychiatry unit can deter you from seeking medical attention when you suffer a mental health disorder. Feel free, be bold, there is no harm in talking. You are the reason why they (the practitioners) are there. Break the stigma.
Poem in Full
They will laugh at me
Seeing me walk on that floor
Surrounded by a crowd
An inscription at the door
PSYCHIATRY
 
Where else will I go
Whom will I tell
That I am sick
That I hear voices
Than the PSYCHIATRIST
By Stevenson Cleardark
Poet/ Mental Health Activist
