The worldwide annual suicide rate is a million people, including about 300,000 in China," he said. Attendees also heard from Sandy Naiman, a mental health advocate and spokesperson for the Canadian Mental Health Association's (CMHA) Mental Health Works program. Naiman spoke of her personal experiences living with mental illness. She was diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder and hypomania. "I'm way over on one side of that (bi-polar Mental health doesn't come easily, it takes hard work disorder) spectrum because I only go up. I never get depressed. I've never experienced clinical depression," said Naiman. "Instead I get manic, I get delusional, I get psychotic, I get insane and I go crazy." Naiman has been hospitalized 20 times for hypomania, has had several treatments of electroconvulsive therapy and has taken "enough drugs to stock a pharmacy," she said. "Because a psychiatrist failed to monitor my lithium levels properly, I almost died of acute iatrogenic kidney failure. I spent more than two years on dialysis and I've had eight blood transfusions," said Naiman. "My sister saved my life Stigma is a word that is immediately associated with people with mental illness. There's no reason for us to feel blame or shame. We have to care more and spread the word that we're OK and good enough. Canadian Mental Health Association Mental Health Works Sandy Naiman by giving me one of her kidneys." She said her current psychiatrist has helped her to "live in recovery" with mental illness for more than 22 years. "Mental health doesn't come easily. It takes hard work and there's no quick fix," said Naiman. The CMHA spokesperson doesn't use the word stigma because it victimizes people and it translates as a "feeling of shame," she said. "Stigma is a word that is immediately associated with people with mental illness. There's no reason for us to feel blame or shame," said Naiman. "We have to care more and spread the word that we're okay and good enough."
