Halloween and Mental Illness Stereotypes
Halloween and Mental Illness Stereotypes
Mental illness stereotypes and Halloween generally go hand and hand. This is an unfortunate tradition and these are the reasons why.
Growing up, I didn’t see the harm of attending haunted asylums or seeing people dressed up as psych patients. It seemed innocuous. As a former psychiatric ward patient and someone who deals with mental illness daily, I understand the harm done. It’s harmful because…

In the beginning, especially at night, he would pace back and forth in the house and cry that he felt “empty in the head.” Sometimes, he would tell my mom and I that he felt tingling sensations in his legs and he was unable to stop fidgeting. Right now, he’s doing better, but he ended therapy, which is…

Shinrin Yoku, or Forest--Bathing
Shinrin Yoku, or Forest–Bathing
Growing up, I found forests to be fascinating places. One of my favorite vacation spots in the world was Big Sur. Being in Big Sur felt like being in the watercolor illustrations in my children’s books that I read at the time. Seeing and smelling the flowers, trees, and the ocean was tranquil. I didn’t know it at the time but I actually did a type of activity called “shinrin—yoku” or “forest…
