Hey guys! Mental illness and stigma surrounding it is something that is very prevalent in our society today. In this episode I talk about what I have learned about mental health stigma, and how in some ways stigma has effected me personally. Stigma can not only negatively effect people with mental health in a social aspect, but it can inhibit them from receiving help, and can lead to more drastic problems.

The research I did for this episode was research I also did for a paper last school semester on the topic of mental health stigma, however the takes I have on it are my own opinions and the stories are my own as well. If you would like any of my specific sources let me know and I will link the document, I do not have enough word count to link them but I did mention them when I would directly quote from them.

If you have any idea on what I should talk about next, if you want to know more about me and my personal experience with mental illness, or if you just need someone to talk to please feel free to contact me! :)

Thanks so much for listening, much love and Happy New Year!
