> Be aware that it is common for the experiences
of Aboriginal people (such as seeing spirits or hearing voices
of deceased loved ones) to be misdiagnosed or mislabelled as
mental illness when they are not in fact ill. Fear of misdiagnosis
can be a strong barrier to help-seeking for Aboriginal people.
For these reasons, you should take great care not to simply
assume that the person is developing a mental illness or
suffering a mental health crisis.
