Mental health is still very much a taboo topic in the year 2022. In this most recent decade, a lot has been done to make mental health issues more accepted, acknowledged, and understood. However, as a society, we are still very much in the dark when it comes to issues regarding mental health. I see evidence of this everywhere I go, whether it’s on Tik Tok where pop psychology misinformation mongering is rampant, or in the news where horrible acts of violence are frequently misattributed to mental illness. We need to talk about these issues and keep talking about them until they are fully understood, mental illness is fully acknowledged as an illness in its own right, and treatment is no longer stigmatized.
