BECAUSE WE DO IT?
Many people have a still image and misleading people with severe and prolonged mental illness, based on many misconceptions. The most outstanding are those who regard mental illnesses as intractable diseases and / or contagious and / or caused by bad parenting. They also consider that those who suffer, they can not want to work, and make responsible decisions and own, unpredictable, often say things without meaning, usually violent and often dangerous, which must be held.
This image is often supported and even promoted by the media, using it even for commercial purposes. These misconceptions are the basis of the stigma associated with diseases such as schizophrenia and other conditions, resulting frequently involve little chance of employment and social inclusion, resulting in rejection by society, which adds to the trend to isolate itself from the disease which determines fewer options and resources for proper treatment. From this perspective, the discrimination they are subjected to these people, often extended to their families and professionals and institutions that are linked to them. Stigma and discrimination are, in all areas, one of the biggest barriers to appropriate treatment and achieve a reasonable quality of life of those suffering from severe mental illness. This is why it is a fundamental commitment to change these attitudes and misconceptions in favor of those with these diseases.
In the province of Tucumán, health conditions not differ from those of other districts. The loss of mental health, expressed as disease or psychiatric disorders has a frequency similar to other provinces. Considering that these patients suffer from other citizens, is also similar: the stigma in this society so peculiar, crowded in terms demographic upheaval in social terms, is perhaps most strongly expressed. However, the educational activities, aimed at reversing this state of affairs, are feasible, affordable and necessary, using reflection, modification and learning proper attitudes, awareness and proper conceptualization.
