POOR MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR POOR BEHAVIOR #Chapter1 #23

Mental illness does not excuse poor behavior—ever. While the challenges of mental health conditions are real and complex, accountability remains essential in personal growth and relationship success. Our actions often speak louder than words, but the language we use can significantly impact communication outcomes. In this episode, mental health advocate Jennifer Stirling-Campbell shares powerful examples of both ineffective and effective communication strategies, particularly during moments of anger or emotional stress. Learning how to manage anger, communicate clearly, and break negative behavioral patterns is key to building healthier relationships. Mental illness may affect emotional regulation, but it should never be used to justify harmful or disrespectful behavior.
