Colossians 1:12-13
Giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins….
I applaud Ms. Close, her family, and all those who work to better educate the public on the subject of mental illness. Fear and ignorance are only conquered through education and understanding. I wish her, her family, and all those suffering directly, or through association with mental suffering, a much better future.
Great Work 👏
She will not be ignoooored
The irony of old people talking about today's stigma about mental health, they clearly haven't been on tiktok
Unfortunately, getting help for mental health issues is still too dangerous in the United States. First there is the stigma obviously, but the less obvious is that you are put on a registry that can be used to incriminate you for offenses or even have your individual rights stripped from you, and you are also subjected to a variety of pharmaceutical drugs to treat whatever affliction that a doctor or therapist says that you’re suffering from which all have a variety of their own harmful side effects. I saved my own mother’s life from psychiatric medication, she was bedridden and couldn’t go outside or pay her bills because the prescribed drugs had crippled her with fear, self-doubt, and anxiety (and this is after being put through MANY of them to find the “right ones”). I was unable to save my sister from the sleeping meds they prescribed her. I also couldn’t save my brother (an opiate and pharmaceutical drug addict) from the 17 different prescriptions they gave him when he came out of rehab. These pharmaceutical companies and the doctors that operate as their agents of destruction have been murdering tens of millions of people with their “medical treatment” with impunity (just look at the Purdue Pharmaceutical’s case). My elderly mother is down to 1 blood pressure medication and 1 ADHD medication, and is living a much more functional and full life. There needs to be a more holistic approach to the foundations of mental illnesses that involves counseling, exercise, diet, job skills, education, and community relief. Once people start struggling we need to have a brake pedal we can put on the government/corporate pressure that sends our loved ones into an early grave. Mentally ill people can’t function normally and we need to have protections for them in place that stop the tax collectors, debtors, and HOA’s from trying to make them homeless and destitute; which just adds to their problems.
Healthcare for All
“Mental health” is a catch all for different maladies, nearly all of which are a “normal” response to a “sick” society. Don’t medicate the individuals who are sensitive to the dysfunction and corruption in our communities, fix the way we behave as communities and institutions! Corporations are NOT people , hold the people running them accountable, stop the corruption of “lobbyists” padding the pockets of our government representatives (they are supposed to be representing us not the wealthy corporations and institutions) Tax the churches and the wealthy elites and put the money into healthy community spaces with lots of free fruit trees and community gardens.
Doctors/scientists have never located “mental illnesses “ in the brain, they can’t point to a location and say there, there’s depression, there’s adhd, there’s insomnia. There needs to be a new approach to how we care for this , and not from big pharma.
Glenn is the beautiful part of humanity. Dealing with mental illness is not a shame!
I have PTSD, BPD, anxiety and depression. I lost all my friends. I have never told an employee because there is still stigma that lives on. The current mental health models to treat and help people need to change.

Keto diets helped me with mental health .

TED talks has turned into crap.
'The stigma of the disease can be worse than the disease itself'. So true.
Thanks for sharing this useful content!!!
I think technology has people thinking they're suffering from mental illness when getting outdoors, real communication/ interaction would be way more effective than any medication
one of the major issue is the bonding is fallen apart. Individualism is taken over the important individual personal care.
The problem is you're just blaming the person that has a mental illness by telling them that they have a mental illness I believe we all have a little bit of mental illness in US some more than others
