Dia Mundial de la Salut Mental, ens sumem al departament de Salut: diferenciem entre malestar emocional i salut mental per entendre millor què ens passa, parlar-ne amb més precisió i contribuir a reduir estigmes.

Comprendre el malestar emocional
La Generalitat de Catalunya, de la mà del conjunt d’agents sectorials, socials i econòmics, ha engegat una campanya de comunicació per incidir en el missatge que no tot malestar emocional és un problema de salut mental. La idea es fer pedagogia de la diferència per evitar confusions i ajudar a la ciutadania a identificar quin tipus de suport necessita en cada moment. Amb el lema “Comprendre el malestar emocional també és cuidar la salut mental”, la campanya prioritza aquells trastorns més prevalents i més freqüentment utilitzats de manera inadequada en el llenguatge quotidià. També vol promoure un ús més acurat del llenguatge en l’àmbit de la salut mental i evitar la banalització dels trastorns de salut mental.
