Myth VS Truth - Talking About Mental Health Will Make Things Worse

Dr. Adam Abba-Aji addresses one of the most common misconceptions surrounding mental health: that discussing your struggles will make things worse. This harmful myth is often fueled by a fear of judgment and the stigma attached to mental illness. Dr. Abba-Aji reminds us that this belief is not only false, but counterproductive. Opening up about your mental health challenges doesn’t exacerbate the problem—it helps alleviate it. Research shows that talking about mental health can drastically reduce feelings of isolation and provide a sense of relief. Sharing your struggles with a trusted friend, family member, or professional can be the first step on your path to wellness. With 1 in 5 Canadians experiencing mental illness each year, it’s more important than ever to break the silence. Dr. Abba-Aji encourages us all to start these conversations, reduce stigma, and prioritize mental wellness in our daily lives.
