The Psychology Student Society, in collaboration with Embrace, is glad to present its first event for the semester under the title “Unmasking Mental Illness: Breaking the Stigma.”<\/p>\n
Four brave speakers will reveal their stories about growing up with mental illness in Beirut. In a society where mental illness is shamed, frowned upon, and is considered a taboo, we organize this event as a step towards breaking the stigma that has always clouded the public\u2019s vision of psychological disorders. <\/p>\n
There will be a discussion about various disorders including OCD, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Anorexia, and, in addition, some of the speakers will be talking about their experience with suicide. <\/p>\n
Away from judgments, stereotypes, and shaming, we will provide a safe space to discuss what mental illness is really about and how it feels to have a stigmatized mental illness in a society that condemns. <\/p>\n
A Q&A session will follow, so be prepared, be many, and help break the stigma.<\/p>\n
