In the past I feel that whenever people thought of health they only thought about physical health and not mental health. Now they are starting to link physical health and mental health together. We are a fast pace society: we are highly industrialized, materialistic and technologically advanced society which creates much stress in our lives and increases the risk of psychological disorders. In this century, the field of mental health and social science is growing-we have more resources and services available to people such as counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists. Our society is getting better at helping those with psychological disorders.

Although having open discussions about psychological disorders is important, the education about the diagnosis process and the severity of a disorder should also be talked about. Many people are very aware of various psychological disorders but still lack the understanding of how much they really can influence a person's life and actions. When people say "I'm so depressed," or "spiders give me a panic attack," we are not respecting the people who are truly going through these daily struggles. Being very upset or scared or nervous or anxious, are all normal and real feelings we all face, but our language can very much minimize those with a diagnosis of a severe disorder. A lot of the people who claim to be depressed or have anxiety have never actually been diagnosed and their lives are very little or not at all effected by these feelings. Language is very important.

I think that most people in society will, at some point in their life, struggle with a psychological disorder or mental illness. I think that our generation is very accepting but we still have a lot of work to do to ensure that people do not feel weird or embarrassed  about having a mental problem that they cannot control.

I feel that many issues related to food is arising. For instance, some people are having dietary depression, a form of depression which is associated to mental illness. Dietary depression (also referred as diet and depression) is one of the mental illness that is occurring in many people, especially in teen males and females. Dietary depression imbalances the normal behaviour, it makes one feel depressed and sad. Dietary depression can arise when one consumes extreme amount of unhealthy food such as consuming too much of fat and fast foods, sugary foods and drinks as well as alcohol. Also, I think we should educate people or make more awareness about this since it’s becoming a huge problem in many young children. �8)ET��lV

I feel that support for disorders should be more prevalent in our society and should be an easily accessible service. People should understand that not everything should be dealt with alone and that there are resources that can reach out and help them through to make changes.

In the above video Kristen Bell explains very well how anxiety and depression is not what you would assume it looks like in people. She is a bubbly person that on the outside would seem to be happy. However, in truth she struggles everyday.

I feel there is still a large amount of negative stigma around psychological disorders. I feel it is important to be aware of the realities of what it is like to live with mental illness. I feel that having a transparent relationship with the discussion is important. It shouldn't be something we sweep under the rug or feel intimated by. I think education on psychological disorders would help reduce the stigma. I also think it would be valuable to have people who struggle with mental illness be apart of the education process. They know the symptoms and emotions better than anyone. Integrating those who struggle with mental illness would have a positive impact on their recovery and would make them feel heard. I also can understand how it is hard to feel comfortable talking about the subject for both parties. Overall, I think education on psychological disorders is the starting place to reducing the negative stigmas, as well as including those who do struggle in the education experience.

psychological disorders are incredibly prevalent in today's society (especially ours, full of students with high expectations under higher stress), and somehow still manages to carry so much stigma. one of the most common symptoms of depression is a general feeling of hopelessness, which makes it easy for those who suffer from this to resist seeking help, which then continues the cycle. and this is just one example of how poorly depression is dealt with, mainly due to how depression has been portrayed in the past. the concept of mental illness and its presentation in society is changing, but it still has a long way to go

I feel very strongly that psychological disorders are still highly stigmatized in society. Having a psychological disorder is no different from having a broken bone or chronic migraines. It is not always physically present but it is there. I feel like the most important thing to do is educate ourselves on psychological disorders and put ourselves in the shoes of others. Last year in one of my classes I had the amazing opportunity to participate in a "hearing voices" exercise. We listened to multiple voices for an hour with headphones as if it we had Schizophrenia. This really allowed me to understand what it is like for individuals dealing with mental illness. It does feel lonely at times and frustrating. I think psychological disorders are to this day way to stigmatized.
