Mental Health Day Blog Party

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Mental Health Day Blog PartyPinOver at Psych Central they are gearing up for another Mental Health Day Blog Party.

If you’ve never seen, or taken part, in the annual event before, it is a great way to gorge yourself in reading about mental health, and the various issues that many of us deal with and write about. It’s also a great way to find new voices that maybe you’ve not seen online before.

I plan on taking part myself, by writing a little bit about the chosen topic this year, “dignity in mental health”. I hope that many of you will consider joining me, and if you want to take part but don’t have a blog of your own, feel free to let me know and I’ll see about possibly opening up the book/movie reviews submission form to more personal stories for the day!

    We All Have Mental Health Issues

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Imagine frowning upon someone taking ibuprofen for a headache because they should “tough it out.” Or talking about how the common cold affects people “over there” and not your group. 

    It’s nonsense. Yet, when it comes to talking about mental health, people start that same nonsense as if they have never had a day where they struggle with anxiety or need to take a break from the stress of day-to-day life. 

    I think it’s time we started looking at mental health the way Dr. Lee describes it. We all have mental health issues of some form or another, just like we all have different physical ailments at times. Stigmatizing people who need mental healthcare and being unable to provide it is a failure for all of us.

    As I wrote yesterday on my tech blog, I’m seriously feeling the need to work on some techie projects. I think I just need the outlet and the challenge to balance the non-challenges I have with work right now. Also, like I did on that site, I wanted to give you all the opportunity to…
