Mental health struggles happen in adolescents and as well as in adults. Awareness of challenges has grown over the years through education at schools, workplaces and the media. Use this day to visit a loved one or colleague who may have or been suffering mentally. Building a compassionate society is vital to a better world.
World Mental Health Day
By Arjan Mann
Oct 10, 2022 was World Mental Health Day. This is an opportunity for individuals to become aware that mental health is equally as important as physical health. Since school has started again, students can become stressed and overwhelmed. What are some ways to manage the strain of deadlines and piles of homework? First of all, taking baby steps and slow things down. Focus on short term goals such as focusing on daily accomplishments. By that I mean your self care goals. Daily goals such as a good morning routine, followed by after school snacks and activities such as exercise can be beneficial to not only physical health but also mental health. Exercise releases endorphins which relieve pain and stress; all you need is 20 to 30 minutes a day. Exercise such as walking, biking , yoga, gym, dancing or any team sport are beneficial to you. Remember to include it into your daily routine.
The Deeper Reasons Why Therapy Fails Autistic and Neurodivergent Clients By Dan Spring, RCC, CCC This article explores why many neurodivergent adults leave therapy feeling misunderstood, invalidated, or pressured to conform to neurotypical expectations. Drawing on both lived and professional experience, Dan Spring argues that therapy often fails when it pathologizes neurodivergent traits, over looks a lifetime of social trauma and masking, ignores the diversity of neurodivergent experiences, and lacks genuine understanding of neurodivergent lived experience. The article calls for a shift toward neurodiversity-informed, non-pathologizing practice grounded in expertise, authenticity, and compassion, so that therapy can better support neurodivergent people in building lives that are sustainable, meaningful, and true to themselves.
