From Me, Myself, and Disability: “We have to look at mental health in the context of our lives, rather than as something which is damaging or dangerous. We must stop tying distress to illness or wrongness. We must not make mental distress apolitical. Yes as the adage says ‘mental illness’ does not discriminate, but to say that it discriminates equally is nonsense.”
