There can be a very thin line between the dangers of self-diagnosis and the importance of self-advocating for one's own mental health needs. The former can increase the risk of misdiagnosis, lead to inaccurate information, and to using coping strategies that cause more harm than good. The latter is intended for increasing one's self-awareness, boost motivation for seeking professional help, lead to more accurate diagnoses, and enhance potential for individualized treatment.
Trying to talk to someone about concerns surrounding their mental health and trying to provide support can be intimidating and involves the pressure of remaining sensitive to their condition. Some key things to keep in mind beforehand includes educating yourself about the topic, ensure the conversation feels safe and comfortable, listen without judgement, encourage actions and to seek help, follow up with them afterwards, and validate their feelings.
Personal and perceived stigmas and biases held by individuals and their communities about mental health has been identified as one of the largest barriers to treatment and help seeking.
Many individuals from communities of color and racial minorities face extra barriers to mental health awareness and care, including issues related to costs, difficulties finding providers with shared backgrounds and experiences, lack of access to information, institutional racism, and additional stigma and fear of embarrassment from loved ones.
