all “asylum” based horror: some guy obsessed with god and christian religion, some random dude facing a wall and talking to himself, ~~~i bet u thought a patient did this but in fact the doctors were doing evil experiments ooho how subversive~~~~, some dude laughing alone, writing on the wall about “them” or also about god, writing is all in blood somehow, a really buff patient out to kill you for absolutely no reason, if there’s a girl she sings a lot and acts like a toddler
me: i get it u have no imagination

really don’t enjoy that a lot of anti gun people out there–a lot of anti gun politicians and reporters, people with influence–see guns and mentally ill people as equally dangerous and, ultimately, equally necessary to get rid of
“there are too many mentally ill people,” especially in the same breath as gun control, is never going to sound like a desire to make treatment more accessible and is always going to sound like a threat.
illiterate dairy maid in 1750, hundreds of years before germ theory was even thought of: because of my exposure to cowpox, im immune to smallpox. if we expose people to cowpox, they won’t die of smallpox
upper middle class college educated mother with internet living in the year of our lord 2018: vaccines are the devils handiwork and a conspiracy i’d rather my child die of polio than be the autism
autism is widely underdiagnosed in girls because autistic women tend to present as quiet and reserved, which is just how women are supposed to be.
personality disorders are underdiagnosed in men because they tend to present more explosively and involve more narcissistic behaviours, which is just how men are supposed to be.
sexism isn’t good for anyone. don’t be fooled.
when ppl ask why gender roles are dangerous!!!!! peep this!!!!!!

Health insurance is a mental health issue. I can’t help a client who can’t afford to see me.
Housing is a mental health issue. I can’t use therapy to help a client whose depression and anxiety come directly from sleeping in the streets.
Food insecurity is a mental health issue. I can’t help a client who isn’t taking their medication because their pills say “take with food” and they have nothing to eat.
Healthcare is a mental health issue. I can’t help a client whose “depression” is actually a thyroid condition they can’t afford to get treated.
Wages are a mental health issue. I can’t help a client whose anxiety comes from the fact that they are one missed shift away from not being able to make rent.
Child care is a mental health issue. I can’t help a client who works 80 hours per week to afford daycare, and doesn’t have the time or energy left to come see me.
Drug policing is a mental health issue. I can’t help a client who ended up in prison because they got caught self-medicating with illegal substances.
Police brutality is a mental health issue. I can’t help a client whose ‘anxiety’ is a very real and justified fear of ending up as a hashtag.
If you’re going to make a stand for improving mental health, you have to understand that addressing mental health goes way beyond hiring more therapists and talking about mental health on social media. If we’re really serious about tackling this mental health problem as a country, it means rolling up our sleeves and taking down the barriers that prevent people from getting the help they need – even if those people are different than us, lead different lives, and make choices we don’t agree with.
We aren’t “fixing” mental health unless we’re fixing it for everybody.
“some people just refuse to get help, like they don’t want to get better”
yes that’s a depression symptom
some of u are really continually surprised that depressed people are really depressed
saying “you’ll never get better with that attitude” to someone with depression will always sound as if you’re telling them to give up. because that ‘attitude’ is, surprise surprise, their depression.
Getting pretty fucking annoyed at all the ableist reporting on Stephen Hawking’s death so like hey uh just a nice little summary of the core of literally every article about Stephen Hawking’s death and the reason why they fucking suck
Stephen Hawking didn’t achieve the things he did ‘despite’ his disability. He didn’t ‘overcome’ them in order to achieve what he did. He had a physical disability. He did physics. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Heck, as the fucking ableist mess of an article Buzzfeed posted said, he himself said "My disabilities have not been a significant handicap in my field, which is theoretical physics. Indeed, they have helped me in a way by shielding me from lecturing and administrative work that I would otherwise have been involved in.”
They also included a quote from another physicist that says “He thinks about the universe differently, due to his physical disability. That enabled him to make discoveries that no one else could make. And he has. They have shaken the foundations of physics.”
Stephen Hawking and his scientific discoveries weren’t made in spite of his disabilities. His scientific discoveries and the achievements he made happened with his disabilities, and possibly were informed by them, and his disabilities shouldn’t be shunned or seen as something that held him back while his achievements – that he’s literally said weren’t held back by his disability – are celebrated
