Reply To: Mental health issues

That’s a really good question and a really hard one. In my opinion though I didn’t include my disabilities and mental health issues in my profile (kind of forgot) I think a disability and or mental illness really is part of the person and makes who they are for better and for worse so I think it’s probably better to include it. Better to be upfront and get it over with even before. Mental health is still seriously stigmatised so including it in your profile is really helping all of us. There should be no shame in it. Amelia
