Comments on: ‘Mental Health Issues’ And Terrorism https://www.gspellchecker.com/2016/08/mental-health-issues-and-terrorism/ Home of Stephen Knight and The #GSPodcast Mon, 08 Aug 2016 12:48:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4.4 By: Markg https://www.gspellchecker.com/2016/08/mental-health-issues-and-terrorism/#comment-6730 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 12:48:05 +0000 https://www.gspellchecker.com/?p=4273#comment-6730 I think the language of mental health is more open to discussion than religion. With religion people seem to adopt other people’s words as more valued than their own words. Whereas with mental health hopefully people are helped to verbalise their own narrative of their world. Dorothy Rowe {psychologist} says it’s important to listen to persons story so as to help them be in a better place in this world.

As a sufferer of depression and anxiety, I thought it was great that people were trying to remove the negative stigma surrounding mental heath. It really makes it harder to be open about it when every time there is a mass shooting here in the US, people will willfully ignore evidence and jump strait to (and only to) “Well, he was mentally ill.”

Thanks, guys. It really helps when you make a conscience link between every mass shooting and mental health….

The term “Asian grooming gangs” is equally offensive to non Muslim Asians.

Anything to avoid naming the elephant.
