Sharing – How to Spot Misinformation About Mental Health Online
Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about mental health from online sources. I’ve also seen a lot of false information being shared as well. Some of it is from misunderstanding evidence, but most comes from someone with something to sell. There have been far too many people sharing quick “cures” and lifehacks that will treat depression and anxiety and heal us from trauma that have gone viral, and far fewer honest voices telling the truth about the solutions that are available to support mental health across society, and how complicated it can be when what the media says will work doesn’t work for an individual, because they are, in fact, an individual.

Sharing – Taking Care Of Your Mental Health: An Obligation In 2025
Life is complicated and uncertain. Our mental state is impacted by that every single day. It is no longer a choice to do the things that support our mental health. I would add that it’s not just an obligation we have to ourselves but an obligation we owe each other. Take care of yourself, and support other people when you can. That’s the only way forward.

Financial Stress and Mental Health
The stress of financial instability is not something that we can eliminate with positive vibes. Being on the verge of poverty or in poverty is a mental health risk factor unto itself. No self-help apps will provide for you if you’re laid off or prevent you from becoming homeless or hungry as the cost of living continues to outpace your income.

Sharing – How to Find Hope When Everything Feels Hopeless
Anchoring myself in the present moment means focusing on the situation in front of me and doing what I can to improve it. That can mean donating money or time to causes I care about, calling elected representatives, supporting the people around me who are suffering, speaking out where I can, educating where I can, and staying aware of opportunities to do the things I can do.
The hope doesn’t lie in one person changing everything; it lies in enough of us doing what we can to make that change.
