#Myth 1: Mental health problems can’t affect me, it’s caused by personality weakness or character flaws.
#Myth 2: People with mental illness are violent and “crazy.”
#Myth 3: Children don't experience mental health problems, and it is impossible to prevent mental illnesses.
#Myth 4: There is no hope for people with mental health problems. Once a friend or family member develops mental health problems, he or she will never recover.
#Myth 5: It’s better to keep it a secret than seek help and get stigmatized.
