biggest mental health publication","editorsNote":"Welcome readers and writers, \nWe're so grateful you're here. We created Invisible Illness to house all of Medium's best mental health stories. We're here to amplify voices and stories, spark open conversations, and offer support without judgment. Join us in sharing stories that will better the future for all who are affected by mental illness. \nPlease read our Welcome Letter to learn more about the publication and its editors. \nAs editors of this pub, we believe sharing stories about mental illness is important, and that it’s not just one story from one individual that makes a difference — though we do believe reading the right story at the right time can change a life. \nInstead, it’s the layering effect of many stories, told with differing approaches and by people from all over the world, with their various perspectives, that can dent stigma and affect change.\nWant to contribute? \nHow to write for Invisible Illness Get started with this Guide for writers new to Invisible Illness.\nWriters Guidelines - Everything you need to know about what we publish. Find out if this is the right publication for you and your work. \nThe Fourteen Most Common Mistakes We See in Invisible Illness Submissions -Avoid these pitfalls.\nFor even more of the conversation, join us over on Slack | X| Facebook. \nThank you for supporting and growing Invisible Illness, \nMeredith, Ryan, and
