A Quote by Richard Carlson

Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness. — © Richard Carlson
Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness.
The very term ['mental disease'] is nonsensical, a semantic mistake. The two words cannot go together except metaphorically; you can no more have a mental 'disease' than you can have a purple idea or a wise space". Similarly, there can no more be a "mental illness" than there can be a "moral illness." The words "mental" and "illness" do not go together logically. Mental "illness" does not exist, and neither does mental "health." These terms indicate only approval or disapproval of some aspect of a person's mentality (thinking, emotions, or behavior).
In fact, people with mental illness are more likely to be the victims of violence rather than anything else. So it's important that we not stereotype folks with mental illness.
Nothing more isolating than a mental illness.
Black Lives Matter is the culmination of racial divide. They're nothing more than the last socially acceptable hate group in America.
Wanting to be on television is a mental illness. Wanting to be president of the United States, wanting to be an actor - these are degrees of the same mental illness. If you need to be approved of simultaneously by more people than are in this room now, there's a problem.
Often, when you're growing up, you don't know what's wrong. We don't talk openly enough about mental illness. How do you know - especially today with the incredibly high stress teens are put under during high school - if you have depression or if you have a mental illness or if you have anxiety? You don't know, because you've never seen it.
I have spent most of my life working with mental illness. I have been president of the world's largest association of mental-illness workers, and I am all for more funding for mental-health care and research - but not in the vain hope that it will curb violence.
Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.
Reading is a socially acceptable form of hallucination.
Mental illness is a disease and organic mental illness of young kids is becoming more and more of a disease... we do need to talk about it.
Writing is a socially acceptable form of getting naked in public
Death by drink driving is the only socially acceptable form of homicide.
Anyone who falls in love is a freak. Its like a socially acceptable form of insanity.
Mathematicians don't like it when they're associated with mental illness and sort of bristle when you say that they can't get along socially, that they're not good with people.
Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity.
There are some circles in America where it seems to be more socially acceptable to carry a hand-gun than a packet of cigarettes.
