Nearly 60 million adults are diagnosed with mental health disorders, where 40 to 60 percent of adults were late diagnosed or received a diagnosis in adulthood. It is not uncommon to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder later in life, nor to be struggling with symptoms of a mental health disorder since childhood. I get it, a mental health diagnosis can be spooky!Particularly considering the gruesome history of psychiatric care and the alarming portrayal of some mental health disorders, the grotesque representation of mental health issues in the media along with the chilling depictions of those who are affected by them can lead us to believe having a mental health diagnosis is like a paranormal encounter.
