Document Summary
Mental health: always been there but we never bring awareness about mental health. Recovery: people with mental health, know whats best for them and can discover it. People have strength and therefore, it happens in the wider context of the community, recovery values peer support. Mad movement: activists in the movement share collective identities, but views range in relation to psychiatric treatment. They campaign for people that are mentally ill to have more choice, better protection and advocacy and self determination against prejudice: they"re interconnected with other movements (ageism, classism etc, emerged in the 1970"s along with other social movements. Mad pride approach: celebrates mad identities, communities and cultural including indiv. and collective strength. Mentalism: discrimination based on mental trait, condition or psychiatric treatment someone has. Sanism: privileging sanity, we see places like post secondary institutions who try to provide help for mentally ill but don"t do much when they try.
