“I think there is a stigma because we don’t know much about it. And it’s just really hard to connect with people who are severely mentally ill. And also, if you think about mental illness, it’s such a deep and vast field – from depression to dementia to people that are damaged because they had cancer or they’ve been having surgery on their heads and radiotherapy, chemotherapy. There is so much about it, and it’s really, really hard to understand people who are severely hit by mental illness. So I don’t judge. Of course, I know what I know from my point of view, from my experience, but I will never talk shit about people who are depressed or committed suicide only because it’s hard for me to relate,” Scabbia said.
“Sometimes it’s easy for the people to judge other people just because, ‘Oh, I can’t understand why it happened. I would have never done this.’ Yeah, you would have never done this, because you don’t understand what they’re going through, You’re not in the heads, you don’t know what they’re experience. So it’s a really, really hard topic to choose,” she continued.
Perhaps we can all learn a lesson from this and think twice before we judge another person based on their mental health and their own experiences with it, or judge another person at all.
