To be clear on mental illness: Do not tell individuals to get over it. The it you are speaking of is their life. Their illness. Its like cancer. Its a disease of the brain and needs to be treated professionally. We cannot just dismiss mental illness. Sufferers of anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, ADD, Tourettes, etc. have to battle their own mind every single day. Again, do not tell individuals to get over it. Ask yourself this. If you could get over cancer, would you? Mental illness sufferers feel the same way! They need to seek professional help regularly. Mental illness kills.
