“It’s all in your head”

Yes in fact it is mostly all in my head.  That is why it is called Mental Health.  My mind has a chemical imbalance that other minds don’t have.  

I hate when people say “It is all in your head” when I bring up mental health.  Not because of what they are saying, but because of how they say it.  

Mental health should be treated with respect.  Mental health is just as important as physical health.

You wouldn’t deny that a diabetic has an imbalance of insulin in their body, or a cancer patient has irregular cell growth, yet mental health chemical imbalance doesn’t seem to get the same recognition.
