World AIDS Day Reminder: Treat people with kindness. Treat myths with facts. Treat silence with awareness.
No—HIV is not a personality trait. No—it doesn’t spread through hugs, handshakes, or sharing memes. Yes—education helps. Yes—support changes lives. Yes—testing matters.
Today is about awareness, compassion, science, and breaking outdated stigma. Because being informed is way cooler than being judgmental. https://www.un.org/en/observances/world-aids-day

College athletes are often perceived as strong, disciplined, and mentally resilient but behind that image lies a growing mental health crisis. Research shows that college athletes experience higher rates of anxiety than their non-athlete peers. A study published in the Journal of Athletic Training found that nearly 50% of student-athletes reported feeling overwhelming anxiety in the past year, and more than 20% indicated that their anxiety negatively impacted their academic performance (Journal of Athletic Training, 2023). This elevated rate of anxiety is tied to a unique set of pressures. Student-athletes must manage physically demanding schedules, maintain academic eligibility, perform at a high level in their sport, and often feel the burden of representing their school or scholarship expectations. Many also struggle silently with fear of injury, burnout, body image concerns, or the stress of competing for future opportunities in professional sports. What makes this issue even more concerning is the gap between those experiencing symptoms and those seeking help. According to the same study, only 12.8% of student-athletes reported receiving a diagnosis for an anxiety disorder, suggesting that many are suffering without the professional support they need. The stigma around mental health, especially in sports culture where toughness is often emphasized over vulnerability, is a major barrier to getting help. This disconnect between the reality of mental health struggles and the availability of support systems makes it clear that universities and athletic departments must do more.

Occupational Barriers experienced in mental health.
Presentation of anxiety, depression, psychosis and many others are not considered disabilities and do not spark areas of concern amongst many people today. Since these are disabilities with symptoms that can not always be seen, it is neglected and expected to be treated with no special regard.
Occupational apartheid continuously has a chain effect on people and their performance patterns in our current day-to-day. The constant stigma and lack of education and advocacy for mental health amongst areas of occupation such as education and work lead to neglect in personal health where disabilities are present.
This is primarily because society in general views people with mental health disorders as incapable of occupational competence, whereas they do not understand that with the right adaptations, support and lifestyle changes, such as introducing medication, these people are able to function optimally and just as well as individuals without these diagnoses. Because of these views, there is visibly less opportunities present for these people.
The biggest factor are the symptoms that present, as this may create occupational imbalance. Some of the leading symptoms in mental health disorders are fatigue, indecisiveness, lack of volition and poor end product, amongst many others.
There is research that shows mental health conditions lead to physical health decline or conditions, such as headaches, fatigue and digestive problems, or restlessness and insomnia; which all prove to be symptoms of anxiety and depression. The prevailing of these symptoms can depend on various factors such as genetics, lack of support to change unhealthy behaviour, being less likely to receive medical help or low volition. ("Physical health and mental health", 2022)
Signs that may imply presence of mental illness include changes in affect and behaviour, sleep and appetite, emotional outbursts and substance abuse. ("Nine signs of mental health issues", 2021)
However, balance is the most vital lifestyle factor to implement. With positive self-talk and self-regard and a strong support system, it will be easier to approach lifestyle changes to improve mental health. Taking care of one’s body, stress management and relaxation techniques like meditation, and avoidance of harmful substances and drugs are steps in the right direction. Realistic goals being set in all areas of occupation and seeking help at checkpoints where one knows they are struggling will greatly impact occupational performance and competence as there are always people willing to consider the difficulties and adapt due to the overwhelming pressures the symptoms of mental illness brings about. ("Ten Things You Can Do for Your Mental Health | University Health Service", 2022)
Factors such as environment play a role in this battle due to inclusivity. Not all environments are suitable for people with mental health disorders. For example, there may be people diagnosed with schizophrenia who work in noisy environments amongst many people, and onsets of hallucinations and aggression may cause disruptions in this work environment.

Comic Hero Co-Shirt of the Week: This month is Mental Health Awareness Month. It's a time to raise awareness of those living with mental or behavioral health issues and to help reduce the stigma so many experience. There are eight common types of mental illnesses. 1. Clinical depression 2. Anxiety 3. Bipolar disorder 4. Dementia 5. Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) 6. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) 7. Autism 8. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) So many times, folks living with mental illnesses are both misunderstood and mocked by others who either don't have or know nothing about them. This is beyond unacceptable and it needs to stop. This is a Mental Health Awareness CH tee that I'll wear on Episode 403 of the Comic Hero Show. #IAmTheComicHero #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #YouMatter #StopStigma https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd4IEkRrqvW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Blog Post #4 [Perpetuating the Stereotypes]
With the rights, there were also the wrongs of Joker like it perpetuates the stereotype that mental illness is linked to violence. This association of violence and severe mental illness causes people to be afraid and therefore outcast those people from society. Many psychiatrists and media members have an issue with the film because the movie’s whole point is that Arthur Fleck is “crazy,” stops taking his medications, and then starts killing people. Arthur’s turn towards violence began with the scene when he was riding home on the subway after losing his job because he had brought a gun. While on the subway, three Wall Street guys are harassing a woman. Arthur’s condition kicks in, and he starts laughing, turning the guys’ attention to him, letting the woman escape. They start harassing and beating Arthur until he snaps and shoots two of the guys and chases down the last one, shooting him repeatedly. Then Arthur uses those murders to empower him and turn to more even violence later on. That scene strengthens the idea that a mentally ill person will crack and become violent at some point. While depression and anxiety have become normalized and don’t have much stigma around them anymore, that is not the case for other conditions like Pseudobulbar Affect, Schizophrenia, and others. There is less stigma surrounding depression and anxiety in movies, shows, and social media because they have often shown those conditions. People don’t see disorders like Pseudobulbar Affect and Schizophrenia very much in the media and have more stigma towards them. Connecting these conditions with violence isn’t ethical because most people won’t know what isn’t true. It also doesn’t help that the movie clumps together many different illnesses that aren’t entirely there. “We wouldn’t want to get bogged down in labels, but the psychopathology Arthur inhabits is foggy at best: his apparent lack of disordered thinking means the attempt to illustrate psychosis is half-formed. He also displays traits of narcissism and depression” (Driscoll & Husain 2019). Putting bits and pieces together of all these illnesses hinders how people receive what the conditions are actually like. Overall, a movie like Joker certainly doesn’t help the misconception that mental illness equals violence.
We truly need to stop the Stigma on so many things. Right here and now the stigma of vax status is actually being forcefully encouraged through social apps, media, and society. Does it truly help to look down on people? I don't think its does. I am vaccinated. Not because I felt it necessary. Because the peer pressure of our world today. If I choose to be vaccinated or not should be my choice and my own personal decision and knowledge. No one else's business however today many places are requiring this personal medical information to be known. The snickers, whispering, and shame talk on all sides needs to stop. At stops with us. (Even this post I am sure will get a label, warning, or even removed) #stopstigma #healthmatters #choices #personal #judgement #stigma #speakup #speakyourthoughts #socialmedia #society #shame #bully #discord #discrimination #stopshaming #criticalthinking #mythoughts #mywords #myopinionmatters #opinion #behuman#bekind https://www.instagram.com/p/CYWwz3jltju/?utm_medium=tumblr
