Mentally ill or mental health labels are both good and bad. They allow for change as conditions fluctuate over time and lessen the stigma, shame, and self-judgment associated with labels. Labels are beneficial by providing clear treatment and support guidelines. Therefore, creating a balance between accurate labelling while respecting and acknowledging the unique experience of each individual is essential. Mental illness labelling should provide direction for care, not define a person's identity or limit their potential.
