Link – The Hidden Face of Mental Illness

ByMikeM June 23, 2016December 20, 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

Mental illnesses don’t discriminate based on socioeconomic status, gender or race. It can befall anyone, for any reason, at any time, and they’ll hide it. They’ll hide it because they know our society thinks they don’t matter. We’ve been telling them that for years. Weird. Crazy. Odd. Quiet. Not normal. And we judge. We judge so much that they are unable to beat what seems inevitable to some of them.

We judge, and people die instead of getting help.

Link – Why Openness About Mental Illness is Worth The Effort And Discomfort
ByMikeM August 12, 2016August 7, 2019 Reading Time: 2 minutes

“You can make a difference. You can be open about how you’ve fought depression and anxiety. You can talk about how you felt hopelessness. You can talk about how you reached the point where you got help. You can describe how you had doubts about the point of getting help, too. You can talk about…

Sharing – Invest in childhood
ByMikeM June 21, 2025June 20, 2025 Reading Time: 1 minute

We know that kids who can access mental health support during traumatic childhoods fare significantly better in every aspect than kids who are unable to do so. If we want to do something about not only the youth mental health crisis, but also future adult mental and physical health issues, one of the best things we could do is invest in support systems for children.

But, we don’t. We have never made the kind of commitment that is necessary, and now we are cutting the meager programs that do exist.

Link – Depression Is NOT Just A Mental Disorder, Review of 29 Studies Concludes
ByMikeM August 11, 2016August 9, 2016 Reading Time: 1 minute

“3,961 people from 29 different studies were included in the analysis. Depression is more than a mental disorder, it affects the body’s ability to detoxify itself. It should be seen as a systematic disease that affects the whole body, argues a new study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.” And yet, there are still far…

Sharing – The Hidden Cost of Having It All Together
ByMikeM June 25, 2025June 26, 2025 Reading Time: 2 minutes

I’m going to let you all in on my secret. I rarely feel like I have it all together. I know many of you are in the same boat. We go to work and pretend like we do, and maybe this is why we all feel like we have impostor syndrome, too, because we don’t always feel the same as the other people who always have it together.

I bet you can think of two or three people you interact with every week that you consider to have it all together. I’d also bet that if we could get inside their minds, they don’t feel like they do, just like the rest of us.

This is a really good description of what I have heard referred to as “sitting with their pain”. ““Don’t let your own feelings of anger or sadness get in the way of you being there for your partner,” Ms. Engel said. Getting angry, even at the person who did this to your friend or loved…

Link – Depression impairs forward-thinking
ByMikeM August 14, 2016August 13, 2016 Reading Time: 1 minute

A new study shows that the hippocampus – the part of the brain that supports memory – is less active in people with depression, who therefore have trouble not only remembering, but also imagining. Once again, we see that the all too common advice to simply think more positively, just isn’t possible for people dealing…
