Interesting PSA! As someone who is living with the diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, I was first taken back about the beginning, but then was delighted with the juxtaposition in scene change. Very well done.
That was powerful. In the beginning I got mad (our sister deals with this astigmatism) then at the end I almost cried. Thank you for bringing intelligence and knowledge where there is none :')
It ‘s time put stigma and discrimination into en end ! Stigma can worsen people living with mental health illness. It can ruin their life because It can delay or prevent them from seeking help and get the treatment to get the recovery, and they will feel being rejected in their society environment ( they will feel isolated ,and difficult to get a job ). Together we can stop the stigma and the discrimination of mental health illness. Let’s do it together.
I saw this commerical early this morning on tv. I was watching something on FUSE. But as someone who has dealt with anxiety and depression I understand and have faced the stigma, I absolutely LOVE this PSA! Please keep them coming!
Jovan Byars I'm glad they are doing this. But the stigma has always been the LEAST of my problems. I couldn't care less what other people think. I wish the stigma was the worst of this. The worst part is the illness. The worst part is having a family so stupid they stick their head in the sand and tell you you just need to grow up. Mental illness is hell and the people around me have done nothing but make it worse. I can't imagine myself ever forgiving them for that.
On so many different levels, this PSA is fucking BRILLIANT. Well-made, powerful, informative, and it really makes you look at yourself and your own paradigms--even if you consider yourself to be sensitive towards those with disorders such as schizophrenia, what WERE you expecting before that door opened? (Having seen this on TV initially, I can say it had me completely fooled at first.)
I have a friend with schizophrenia. He's a very nice guy, and I hate how people will always say things like, "schizophrenia turns you into a violent creep", because it doesn't. My friend is a very nice person who happens to have a hard life because he's sick. He's not violent, he's not mean, he's a really sweet guy who doesn't feel good 'cuz he has a disease that makes him feel afraid all the time and that makes him hear and see awful stuff that isn't there and etc. Just because someone's brain is sick doesn't mean that they're bad. It means they're ill.
This is great. Just this past Halloween the local news highlighted a "haunted house" that had the theme of "insane asylum". I complained to the station but never heard from them. It needs to stop.
Parley Twenty Glenn Close wasn't being mean. She loves her nephew Caleb and her sister. She started this organization to help them by showing that they're people not monsters like the media has often portrayed those with mental illness. The whole point was that you can't always tell and Hollywood's use of things like schizophrenia in horror films to depict psycho killers are not accurate even though people still think so. We shouldn't have to hide our neurological differences for fear that we will be treated poorly or judged or even feared because of what people think of mental difference. That is the purpose of this video and that is not mean.
Yes, it's time to start talking about mental illness. It's time to finally realize that one can not see the absolute by practicing mere partial examination. One can not say, WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, that "Schizophrenia" is a mental illness, and do so while at the same time be saying that "Schizophrenia" is still only PARTIALLY UNDERSTOOD. How can one with partial vision claim to be able to see the absolute? The ABSOLUTE does not reside within the PARTIAL. Thus, mental illness is at hand.

I love these ads and I love this group. We need to fight the stigma and confront those who promote stigma against mental illness!

You're absolutely right, I didn't know he was Schizo until he spoke. Glenn Close should know better, if you want people to understand, BE NICE!!!

I think asylums are mostly in horror culture because they tortured and abused the mentally I'll. Especially in places like pennhurst.
Bravo, BringChange2Mind!
This man obviously hasn't slept for 24 hours. His eyes are bloodshot. I remember not being able to sleep due to paranoia. Poor guy😐

Astigmatism isn't mental. Wht would you get mad?

Sorry to disappoint you if...... this may be a well-intentioned ad, but it's sarcastic tone right out of the gate is needless.
