My ex-girlfriend (and her sister!) here in Sweden swore blindly to me that the reason for me having my mental health condition was that God was punishing me for Straying From His Chosen Path and that the Devil is responsible for causing mental illnesses - everything from mild depression to schizophrenia apparently. Now, in principle, I am usually all for respecting an individual's personal belief system but hello.......where does it end? Needless to say it was the final nail in the coffin of our relationship and subsequent counselling has hypothesised that one of the reasons for me becoming ill in the first place was the constant pressure applied by her religious fervour and adamant opinion that I was being possessed/punished by forces I apparently refuse to recognise! As if things aren't bad enough in society when it comes to stigma (worse in the UK)........ I'm sure they mean well but surely they should recognise when to back the hell off..... Thankfully there are professionals out there like Tom Reynolds who take a more humanist approach - "You unwell - me health care professional - priority = your well-being, regardless of how many levitating purple hedgehogs you see." Nice one :)
