Diagnosis for a mental illness doesn't typically come at a fantastic time in life. Who is having a good time and thinks, "You know what? I'm going to go be screened for severe mental illness!"

In this episode, this open letter is meant to be shared with mentally ill people who reject their diagnosis by addressing some of the common reasons I've heard over the years.

I am not a mental health professional. I do not have any qualifications or certifications of any kind. I hope that by sharing my experiences, more mentally ill people will be empowered to step into the offices of clinicians to do the hard work that leads to mental wellness, peace, and happiness. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, as all I am is a mental patient with a microphone.
