Mental Health Stigma and Discrimination by Anna Beth Colby https://padlet.com/abc10697/Mentalhealth I chose this topic because I feel like there is so much stigma around mental health patients. Also i chose it because we as a society have been fighting for equality for a very long time and the fact that we still have discrimination against people who cant help who they are and how they think i don't think anyone should be treated like that. I think a lot could be discussed about this and there could be a light shown on this topic. How is stigma shown and what is the most predominant way of showing it? en-us 2015-04-13 16:48:36 UTC 2023-02-13 07:30:26 UTC hello@padlet.com Background abc10697 https://padlet.com/abc10697/Mentalhealth/wish/56800081 who: people with mental disorders

But still some of it is due to emviromental factors and emotionally traumatizing

Q. why is it that mental health and physical health are related though one involves the human psyche and the other physiology?

Even then most mental illnesses are a combination of environmental and biological factors. Some depend more on biological factors like depression goes hand in hand with the neurotransmitter serotonin. We don't know the causes for all mental health problems

I chose this quote because he says that 25% people have a mental health problem and that's already a big statistic but even more people have issues with that. That's just like not liking someone because they think different than you... Why hasn't society realized that's almost as bad as having a problem with someone because they look different

]]> 2015-05-05 17:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/abc10697/Mentalhealth/wish/59405878 Justin Absher | Answer to Q2 JustinAbsher https://padlet.com/abc10697/Mentalhealth/wish/59425123 There will never be true equality in the world. Even people who do not discriminate against others automatically form opinions about people based on looks and/or behavior. This is an evolutionary behavior that helps us distinguish between friendly people and enemies. Unfortunately this carries over into our social interactions and in situations that aren't even potentially dangerous. If we did not prejudge people at all, then we would be easy targets for crime and injustice. The tragic truth is that we will always have at least a little bit of prejudice towards strangers. The best solution is to not act on those prejudices unless you fear that harm will be done to you. Even in that case the solution is avoidance rather than discrimination.

Unfortunately that is just how people are made and as much as we want to say that it could be possible it just isn't. There isn't a single person in the world who treats everyone the same either. Everyone is treated differently because everyone is different.

People in our society today will always judge and put themselves above others. I don't believe any type of written law will ever eliminate that.

Even if we got to the point that anything that came out of our mouths was completely positive, our minds would still sway negative occasionally. We have those people that always try hard to not judge one another and to only think positive but everybody slips up. And that's okay.

There will always be one person who doesn't get along with a certain person, and create issues. Even if we wanted to create a perfect world, isn't our form of entertainment a from of competition such as sports and types of dramas and what about fights? Nobody just walks away when there's a school fight, in fact people try to get closer to get a better view. Even in a perfect world someone would still end up messing up and getting judged by it, I truly would love to tell you the answer is yes eveyone can be treated equally if we try hard enough, but in reality someone may say something honest and the other person may take it the wrong way

The act of racism seems to be increasing. People think just because they are a different color then you means your better then them and that's just not true. Just as many white people do crimes as black we just don't hear about it as much. We choice what to see and hear.

No matter how many laws are put in to place or enforced it just won't happen. People choose to believe they are better then one and other. I believe there should be equality and I try to show that in my everyday life. People go by what they were taught then there own opinions.

Us humans are too easily influenced ny societal and cultural views and values, so as long as discrimination exists there will always be someone to carry the torch.
