This episode discussed the stigma associated with mental illness. A study by Angermeyer and Matschinger (2003) which looked into attitudes towards mental illness and public labelling was discussed. The rapper Kanye West is also discussed regarding the negative connotations linked to bi-polar disorder. I share my own personal experience with mental health, and offer suggestions of ways to tackle stigmatisation and ideas around positive affirmations.
