    The Amazing Way This NFL Team Just Stepped Up For Mental Health

    December 9, 2016 / No Comments

    “We need to accept that mental illness is a disease — and like any other disease, it needs stronger research, early screening and treatment, especially for young people,” Marshall wrote. The Amazing Way This NFL Team Just Stepped Up For Mental Health This time with footwear. Lindsay Holmes Deputy Healthy Living Editor, The Huffington Post The New York Jets may not be at the top of the NFL standings this season, but they’re certainly leading the charge when it comes to mental health advocacy.

    Should You Tell Your Boss About Your Mental Health Condition?

    November 17, 2016 / No Comments

    She discloses to her employers that she has “vague” problems with her mental health, but hasn’t told them she has borderline personality disorder (BPD). Should You Tell Your Boss About Your Mental Health Condition? By Hannah Ewens Most people I know with an ongoing mental health condition haven’t told their employer about it. We’ll send one another memes about panic attacks and joke about periods of psychosis, but there’s no way we can be that casual in the workplace. In a fair world, employers wouldn’t judge you for having a condition, and anyone who has an illness would have access to some form of work—which often helps with self-esteem and…

    When bigotry invades mental healthcare: Women, sexual minorities are most vulnerable to harassment

    November 16, 2016 / No Comments

    From being slapped to being shamed, members of marginal communities have few places to seek help for mental illnesses. When bigotry invades mental healthcare: Women, sexual minorities are most vulnerable to harassment Prateek Sharma “I was talking about my nightmares to my therapist and while in the middle of that I accidentally told him that I am a bisexual and out of nowhere he just slapped me and asked me to go away. The incident did make me badly depressed, took a toll on my health and everything. I already have ADD and OCD and that’s what I was seeing the therapist for. So the depression just doubled from there…

    Therapists’ Fear of Borderline Personality Disorder Persists

    March 16, 2016 / No Comments

    Relationship instability is a feature of BPD, and clinicians may be wary of patients with whom establishing a therapeutic bond could be difficult. Therapists’ Fear of Borderline Personality Disorder Persists Tori Rodriguez, MA, LPC March 01, 2016 Many therapists share the general stigma that surrounds patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Some even avoid working with such patients because of the perception that they are difficult to treat. As reported in Social Science & Medicine last year, interviews with 22 mental health clinicians in the United States1 suggest that the BPD diagnosis “can sometimes operate as a cue to healthcare providers that they should anticipate this patient will be hard…

    I am more than my _____

    November 27, 2015 / No Comments

    Like every other movement working against stigma, pride is a powerful primary tool. Self-acceptance comes first. I am more than my _____ BY LAUREN DIAZ | NOVEMBER 19, 2015, 11:50 AM “How about I hold up a sign that says, ‘I AM MORE THAN MY BPD?’” “How about you don’t?” This is a brief exchange I had with myself at the 2015 photo campaign for Active Minds at Columbia University, entitled “My Mental Health Matters.” The table was littered with an array of paper signs to choose from, but I was drawn to the one with the blank. This could have been my coming out, but the stigma-fearing answer was…

    Mental illness shouldn’t be a dirty secret

    August 14, 2015 / No Comments

    The real issue I had was with the judgement from people. Not because they were trying to be cruel, but because they genuinely did not understand. Mental illness shouldn’t be a dirty secret by NAME WITHHELD Last updated 05:00 06/08/2015 As someone who has experienced mental illness off and on for the past 10 years and had an experience of acute mental illness, especially over the past two years, I feel I can say that discrimination is a problem in New Zealand. Personally, I think most of the problem is the lack of education around it. Other people don’t know enough about mental illness. Often what they ‘think they know’…
