Have you had a mental illness?
I have got a blanket diagnosis: " Psychotic disorder with Manic and depressive mood swings." I don't think she wants to actually give me the definitive diagnosis.

Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
Only got diagnosed a few days ago. But some of my friends like to use the term psychotic and psycho as one. So I'm now a "psycho"

Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
I suppose it's made me more accepting of others. And I think it's made me want to go into the health care profession even more.
