This documentary film exposes the dark side of pharmaceuticals in the treatment of depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, PTSD, and a host of other symptoms that one would normally associate with trauma, grief, stress, or burnout. One of the most dangerous narratives in our society is this notion that if one is not happy or upbeat, there is something automatically wrong with them. And as an individual who spent most of their life experiencing mild depression and anxiety and even more recently, as a survivor of Narcissistic Abuse, Scapegoating, Organized Stalking & Harassment, I’ve only become more and more convinced that our society itself is what is truly toxic and that is what is making us sick. Our society fails to understand that healing from trauma or grief or PTSD is a process just like everything and unfortunately, people can be profoundly changed once impacted by certain events or experiences. What is most disturbingly clear as highlighted in this documentary film is the number of people who have been harmed through misdiagnosis or through the prescribing of one or more medications that produced side effects that lowered quality of life or worsened symptoms and behaviors or increased depression or suicidal ideations.

10 years missing him and a convenient opportunity to share reflexions on mental health, particularly re. depression and suicide. Once again, let's pay attention to details: Robin, Anthony Bourdain -among others- were tremendously successful, used to smile at everyone, were shinning stars in different areas and generous givers of wisdom. But... the high-functioning depression is quite difficult to be noticed in our daily life. It's not as simple as taking this test or appealing to that psychometric instrument. However, we can observe certain signs... just to be alert with ourselves or a beloved one. Pay attention, read about high-functioning depression in mental health webs, specialized blogs, and similars. Perhaps, you may like to read: https://lnkd.in/eU9fEvsB Thanks for your time!

Take 1:30 minutes to watch this quick message from a friend and colleague trying to help others who need it.
STOP SUICIDE. PROVIDE LIFE AFFIRMING ALTERNATIVES. SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH. Please share…. Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15 to 34 year olds? Or that we lose 12 Canadians every single day, and worldwide, 700,000 lose the battle every year? My Mother’s suicide has haunted me for almost 40 years, and now I say “ENOUGH”! Enough isolating and beating yourself up, while pretending everything is “fine”. Enough of the stigma around Depression. Enough tragic, preventable deaths! Enough loss and confusion for those left behind. Lipstick on the Mirror is my journey to understand and make peace with my Mom. Most importantly, it’s about exploring cutting edge science and meeting global experts who offer proven, life affirming alternatives. Please help me turn this tide, by fearlessly diving into the wellspring of humanity: to make sense of life’s inevitable trials, and to discover meaning, purpose and joy on the other side. #lipstickonthemirror #suicideprevention #chooselife #mentalhealth

I was reminded recently by the inspiring international consumer leader David Oaks of the power around sharing stories of lived experience, particularly the silenced and marginalised, such as Madness as a form of wisdom and pride. VMIAC have always been a wonderful supporter of my activism in re-attentioning power in the psychiatric system to traditional healing and embodied ways of partnering with people from social, cultural, spiritual and structural determinants. I am a massive believer in disability justice, lived experience leadership and abolition, as reform will not change the fundamental colonial, patriarchal and sanist systems that view our human diversity as illness and disease requiring control, restraint and coercion. I came from intergenerational mental health, child abuse and neglect, family violence and the foster care system, only to interact with a psychiatric system that medicalised trauma, oppression and poverty. I hope this video from 2020, provides some ideas for what I am about, and some hope for those that enter 'the system'. Lived experience can be a superpower, it can also kill. I am all too aware, but please consider the power of vulnerability and harness your authenticity as you are not alone <3 Feel free to comment below on the power you have harnessed from your lived experience? #livedexperience #mentalhealth #socialjustice #psychiatry #consumer #humanrights https://lnkd.in/giFfmkDG

Behavioral Health Link recently shared this documentary recently, and I wanted to take a moment to highlight it as well. While we talk a lot about how prevalent suicide is in our society, I think it's equally important to highlight the stories that demonstrate "triumph over trauma." These stories remind us that there is hope on the other side—light in the darkness. However, many just need help finding it. #SuicidePrevention #BehavioralHealth #MentalHealthCrisis
