Some dread the thought of Halloween because of the representation of mental illness as savage. Immersing yourself with horror, slasher, or a form of entertainment that misrepresents mental health disorders can hurt those with mental health disorders. Take some time to stop and think about the movies, tv shows, or video games depicting mental health disorders as threatening and violent. These images can prevent people from seeking help for their mental health disorders. T...he depictions also perpetuate the myth that those with mental health disorders are violent and dangerous.

Elections bring up intense feelings that can disrupt normal functioning in activities. We can't help but feel strongly about our political views. Elections and politics are a source of stress, anxiety, and depression. There is an increased fear of voicing our thoughts or asking questions. Stress and anxiety can paralyze us and decrease our enjoyment of life. By limiting news sources, finding new activities, volunteering, or exploring healthy choices, we can control how... we react to the election’s stress. Seeking help by beginning therapy or becoming involved in group therapy sessions is; also an option.
