Is there a single definition of what it means to be “crazy”? Is using the word “crazy” offensive to those struggling with mental illness and something to be avoided? What does it mean for people when labels like “crazy” are attached to their everyday experiences?

Maybe you‘re not crazy—maybe you just have a mental health condition, and that‘s okay. Our brains are all in this together, and the only way out is through, unless you have a line on a tesseract, in which case, let‘s talk.

This was an informative read. It helped to show me the different sides of mental health. Many of the essays were very relatable. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GingerAntics Right? We have to get rid of some of these words we don‘t even understand the etymology of. 4y
wanderinglynn Because men have named all the things. 4y
Milara Why get rid of the word? The word has done nothing wrong; people that have used it in a disparaging fashion are to blame - i guess because men cannot be hysterical or have emotions 🙄. If we would get rid of the words we don't know the etimology of we will soon speak in sign language. 4y

Nute This little fact must be enlightening to many folks. Proper use of a word is the key...aren‘t we all “of the womb” so to speak. 4y
alisiakae In much the way queer has been turned into a word oof empowerment by the LGBTQ+ community, I thing the same needs to happen for hysterical. Take the word back and give it some feminine power. 4y
deirdrebeecher I think this discussion is missing the words usage as a medical term. I would be reluctant to use it for the same reason I am reluctant to use other outdated medical terms which are used pejoratively. 4y
nanuska_153 I think it's positive that the word has evolved from it's original meaning and now both men and women can be hysterical. It used to originally make reference to a woman's illness, hence it's connection to the womb. Actually dildos weren't created for masturbation, but as a cure for women hysteria and were openly advertised. Some silver linings here 😂 4y
Milara Exactly. Language has it's "own" way of changing, progressing as we begin to understand more about some subjects, words change their meaning or they dissapear for lack of use as they become obsolete. No need to ban them. Next thing we'll know we'll be burning books in the city square. 4y

I loved the comics within. Some of the essays were hit or miss, but I really felt understood and seen by the authors in this book. It really helped me come to terms with some of my own issues.

This was fantastic on so many levels. And, hey, it was about therapy and It didn‘t even feel like being at work... and most books about therapy do. I highly recommend this for anyone who isn‘t scared of the #stigma (s) surrounding mental health... and even if you are, just listen to it privately! 😘
