Let’s Change The Term “Mental Health”

I sincerely apologize to you all, because in my original post I meant to say, “Let’s Change The Term Mental Illness” and NOT “Let’s Change The Term Mental Health”. The term “mental illness” consists of two words that, unfortunately, each have a negative connotation, especially the word “mental”. Again, last post, and I sincerely apologize for this confusion.

Yes makes a big difference. I was responding to what is wrong with Mental Health and the connotation with that term. Which in my opinion is addressing your mental health just as much and important as your physical health.
Again I think all doctors should look at a patient and when they see them address them not only about their physical health but mental health. As I mentioned in previous post when I used to go to VA for visits the first part was all about my mental health. I used to think wow this is a lot of time focusing on that but then made me feel good was addressing me as a whole person and my overall HEALTH not just physical symptoms.
