Mental health im just diving right into the question bc i am super passionate about mental health and mental health awareness like destigmatizing it and getting legit treatment for it like its my life wbu
oh shoot hang on I think that's definitely a good cause Seems like we've made significant progress too At least from what I know
ya we definitely have but theres so much more to do like we now have resources we didnt have before and so our potential for addressing it has increased and i mean theres still some people stuck in the past the people who are all like "just drink water and ur depression will go away" water doesnt fix neurochemistry unforunately but sry im ranting i tend to do that about this haha
No, you have a point.  I think a big problem with effecting any kind of change is just reaching everyone. So like we have all these methods to contact people but still miss out on significant groups
and some just dont listen
whether they'd listen or not is another issue oh haha
like i have this friend well former friend shes a PSYCHOLOGY major and decided to lecture me on how people with mental illnesses need to just get over it and not take meds
ohh yeah...
showed me pics of her textbook and highlighted what she wanted
I mean legit it's not just something you can get over
completely ignored the fact that the first paragraph said "there are instances where medication is the only option that can help" and so even if we tell everyone some wont listen
Yeah, gotta love selective hearing
i mean if a psych major still doesnt understand the mental illness isnt just an emotion, who can? exactly
Yeah you'd think they'd be the ones pushing new findings out It really bothers me when people do say to just get over it because I have a few friends who I know can't, and even though I don't really know what it's like,  ... I can still get the fact that they can't "get over it" I dunno, maybe they just need to get to know someone who has a mental illness, I think that helped me Like when it's a friend of yours
