Sharing – Mental health: ‘Shame is carried by people as a result of trauma. That sense of shame might be buried quite deep’
We have done a good job of removing the stigma of getting help for things like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and multiple other symptoms of mental health issues. We haven’t done enough to make it acceptable for people to talk about the trauma they’ve suffered. Until we do that, and until we recognize that we all have experienced various levels of trauma, we’re going to continue to have a growing mental health crisis on our hands.

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.
