Mental Health & Me M J Anthony

In 2017 I fell into a dark spell of depression and anxiety. Over the past three years I found learning about mental health helped my own journey understanding my mind. In our fast-paced and modern world today, many of us are struggling with our mental health. These people may be your family, your neighbors, your friend, your co-worker, or the person sitting beside you on the bus. The stigma that comes with mental illness is still powerful as it affects the general view of society with mental health issues. People tend to associate negative stigmas with regards to mental health. Stigmas and misrepresentation are some of the obstacles for someone who is suffering from mental illness.
