    Even though mental illness is a common problem it's handled very poorly. People with mental illness struggle to get help for a variety of reasons. They lack the money to pay for therapy and the support they need.

    I agree, mental health care is very important and sadly is not always easy to get. Mental health needs more funding and more awareness. Being stable mentally is just as important as getting your yearly doctor's exam. I view mental illness's such as depression, anxiety and so on to be just as important to treat as any physical sickness or injury that requires medical attention.

    I also agree that mental healthcare is very poor and not getting the attention it deserves. I have someone really close to me that has mental illness and they don't get all the proper things that they need to deal with it because of money.

    As someone who has struggled with mental illness most of my entire life I know all too well the challenges that mental health faces in our country. It might help you to look at the Reagan administration and their decisions to close several mental health hospitals and programs in the late 80's. This had a huge impact on how mental health was dealt with in this country.

    Being someone that has worked for a number of years with mentally disabled patients, I have to say that there is a lot of indifference toward this medical condition. Patients are not always receiving the best treatment option, they rather receive what is convenient for the health care provider or sometimes the cheapest alternative because family does not want to pay for treatment, whether it is a therapy or medication. It is very unfortunate that these people are ignored just because they have an ilness.

    I work with a variety of patients and some do have mental disabilities. Most don't seek help because they have the lack of knowledge and don't know where to start. Also like the article states they don't have the support or don't want to spend the money. A lot of people who don't get the correct help they need then tend to become suicidal. Very sad.

    Mental health definitely needs funding. A lack of funding will result in higher poverty and an increased suicide rate among the disabled. Not too long ago the mentally ill were put in asylums. Being someone who has Asperger's Syndrome I have experienced shutdowns and anxiety. At my last college I was unofficially withdrawn. When I have anxiety I often cannot leave my bedroom and school has become very difficult.

    The main reason many do not seek professional help is not due to money, but the stigma that society places on someone with mental illness. Suffering in silence is a common way to handle the disease. Many also self medicate with alcohol and drugs. There is free help out there, just have to look for it. Catholic Family Services and Christian Church groups are there to those who ask for the help. The first step is to ask.

    Mental health is at a total decline, many high school and college students meet the standard for depression and an anxiety disorder. Studies were done and they showed a dramatic increase in mental illness over the last five decades. The increase in mental illness surprisingly had nothing to do with realistic dangers such as war. Anxiety and depression often correlate with a sense or lack of control

    A lecture, which addresses mental health as a social issue. Discusses the mass suffering and stigma attached to mental illness.The cost to our economy and delayed treatment. The majority of public funding goes to treat psychosis, when there are so many more suffering from anxiety and depression.

    New research conducted by Dr. Dieter Wolke shows the lasting affects of bullying on youth. Researchers found that conflict amongst peers creates stress-related issues such as anxiety and depression. A call to action is asked among communities to find better resources for mental health.

    This kind of article should be spread around to help decrease and get rid of bullies. Many just think that it's only teasing but they don't know that can stay with you forever. This article shows that we do stay with lasting affects when bullied.

    Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!

    Human trafficking has a great impact on its victims. IF victims are able to get away from traffickers, they will still struggle for the rest of their lives. Even though they got away, they will forever be scarred. They will always remember their experience.

    This is very true because most were forced or tricked into it. Not to mention they make them do some unspeakable things.

    There are many risk factors to eating disorder, however they are not what cause the disorder but can contribute to developing an eating disorder. Psychological risk factors are low self-esteem, lack of control on life, anxiety, anger, stress. Some social factors to eating disorder are wanting to obtain the "perfect body", the cultures definition of beauty.
  • kea2154314 on 04 Sep 16
     
    I think a huge impact on a person eating habits is how society views people. People are constantly told to look a certain way, do certain things, and it eventually becomes ove whelming. These factors can lead to person having a eating disorder so that they can feel accepted in society.

    Solitary confinement is the practice of isolating people in closed cells for 22-24 hours a day, virtually free of human contact, for periods of time ranging from days to decades. This has been proven to cause several mental health issues, such as hallucinations, paranoia, anxiety, etc.

    This website states that those suffering with mental illnesses experience social injustice because of the social stigma that a pill is needed rather than seeking treatment from therapists. When those seeking help from a doctor for anxiety, they will most likely prescribe a drug rather than sending you to get help from a therapist.

    Kids are growing up with less self esteem and anxiety. Social media can lead to increased depression, body image issues and even loneliness.

    With mental health issues becoming more prevalent in today's society. One has to wonder if it might be linked to the ever growing social media world we live in. With many studies speculating that social media might be the driving force behind our mental health pandemic.

    I personally do think that social media does play a roll in today's mental health pandemic, whether the impact is big or small. Mental health is something I believe to be very important & I wish everyone took it more seriously.
  • dan2195433 on 07 Sep 20
     
    I agree with Ash. As a race, humans tend to emulate and learn from each other, and has been proven by examining cultures and societies. With social media, anybody can "learn" behaviors, thoughts, or even actions from anybody. With this in mind, what do you think will happen to future generations on social media if they were, for example, consistently exposed (and as a result desensitized) to something like violence?

    This is a great topic and a great find, social media has been directly linked to depression.
  • ayeager7152 on 08 Sep 20
     
    Sadly this world has truly become run by social media and the input of people we have never, and will never, meet. The importance a "like" or "comment" has now definitely leads to declining mental health statuses. Some people are so based on the likes that their entire world would crumble. Companies pay people purely based on their likes and follower count and the power they hold over their viewers.
  • alexisgarcia28 on 08 Sep 20
     
    Mental health is a really big deal, especially nowadays. Our predecessors commonly pushed down or ignored their mental health issues, but it's even worse for people today due to social media and other platforms. People today are becoming more mindful of social issues such as mental health and I think that's a really big deal.

    Social media has really impacted adolescents and young adults in many ways. Mental health problems have sprung because of social media. Social media has its positives but it has made a lot of people see themselves in a bad light and view themselves as imperfect when in real life they are perfect.
  • aar2148390 on 02 Feb 21
     
    this article is an interesting one to say the least. may people are affected by social media but young adults are the most affected. this article shows how young minds are most affected by these media outlets.
  • sim2128554 on 02 Feb 21
     
    I would definitely agree with the article as it claims the correlation between time spent on social media and the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I likes how they referenced how abstaining from it can result in higher levels of happiness.
