Is there a difference between mental illness and mental well being,
I have googled and got a interesting response, what I am interested in is personal thoughts
The reason that brings me to this question, is so many now are saying that covid is making their mental health worse, which I respect. But when getting into a in depth conversations with people, they state/claim a bad day as they are struggling due to the lock down is the same as serious mental health issues such as Bipolar/BPD and more.
When asked to explain further without going into my own potential issues, they tell me that they understand a suicidal person because they simply cannot cope being at home due to this lock down.
These kinda conversations I'm too rummed up to go into detail right now, all I am interested in hearing is,
Do you believe there is a difference between mental health and mental health well being, or right now, are we all in the same place, does someone having a bad day due to this lock down have a right to compare, it to someone who's actively trying to end their life?
Does this question even make sense? I know most my posts here get ignored, I just hope one answers too allow me to have a thing from more then one perspective on this!
