With various pictures of all the celebreties in various distress, pantiless and the haggard mugshots. I like this idea!Something like "This is Your Life. This Is Your Life When You Ignore Mental Health. Any Questions?"
Maybe they could have a commercial with a huge football stadium and show people with cards on them who have had mental illness effect their lives.
My guess would be that there is less empathy because there is this widespread belief that there's a pill that can fix anything and everything. So, if someone has uncontrolled "mental illness" (I hate the term), the reaction is that he should just go to the doctor and get medications. The phrase "did you forget to take your medications" has become the new "you're crazy". We've all run into a school official or legal officials or medical personnel or all of the above who blame our parenting or the child's poor choices because, after all, the child is medicated -- that should fix him. But we all know that these medicines can cause psychiatric adverse reactions -- including violence and homicidal ideation -- that can make the child far, far worse. Many of those children -- and adults -- are the ones who make the news. It isn't the medications that get the blame but the "mental illness" thus labeling people with "mental illness" even more negatively than before. And much of this is because the advertising to both doctors and the general public make people believe that these drugs are somehow magic.or wrong, advertising has made the world has more aware of mental illness in ways that haven't happened before; more empathetic, I can't say.
