How Has Mental Health Awareness Has Impacted Your Life

Actually, it's mental health awareness that's completely changed my life-from hiding my struggles to putting them out there. I've received support and have understood how best to take care of myself and seek help when I can have it. But then I can even advocate for others, and how mental health awareness impacted my life.
 
Yes it does help me to be more empathetic about others. You know when you have been there you understand things better. So I understand things from people perspective
 
I don’t have mental health issues except stress over work and relationships. However, I try to quiet my mind through meditating in my bedroom. I try to communicate openly with my frienfs and family during walks in our park.
 
Mental health problems can be distressing. Rasing awareness about such kind of topics can help people in many ways. In many cases, many people are reluctant to seek help due to shame and guilt associated with mental health problems. Rasing awareness can help people came forward and discuss things in an open manner.
 
There are people we used to think where weird or simply possessed ( yes am from Africa, we tend to spiritualize almost everything.) after having some mental health awareness, i have come to understand that some persons simply need medical help not isolation.
