MH ACROSS CULTURESAcross different cultures and languages, people talk about and explore mental
health in multiple ways. In just a few words, please share: How have you experienced
the concept of "mental health" within your own cultural communities?
● i was raised by christian fundamentalists who believe mental health issues are a sign of sin or otherwise a
personal failing.
● weakness
● Doctors love prescribing pills to everything your sad take a pill, your depressed u get labeled as suicidal.
your tired take sleeping pills just a comment of how western culture deals with it.
● The person is exaggerating.
● mental health is dismissed in my community, theres no options readily available for those who do suffer
from mental illnesses
● Long ago it is taken as a curse.
● I was raised to see it as something to hide and just "get over"
● You arent really allowed to talk about it in other cultures. I am black and ﬁlipino and those issues get
brushed under a rug
● past generations in my culture called you special if had any issues
● my culture also sees it at a sin and weakness
● I grew up on the Rez and their is a spiritual component that people with mental illness live in two worlds
seen and unseen
● Blaming yourself
● I'm from the navajo reservation and mental health so high that there isnt enough mental health coaches.
● homeless people get labeled as mentally ill as a pre assumption though the majority may be there
because of poor choices or the economy just a thought
● won't talk about it, when your sad its okay but when your beyond hopeless inside, others will not help you
cause they don't know how to help you so they are kind of scared of it cause they don't understand it
● very few people who are homeless are such as a result of their own poor choices. we live in a system that
creates homelessness and poverty.
● exactly good point as well the system contributes to homelessness as well

art its beautiful

his art
● It took me back to when I was going through my ﬁght

● scared, and sad
● very eye opening and offers perspective
● It reminded me of a current situation with my newborns father and how i may not
be understanding this new transition for him
● was worried for him. I related and wasn't sure how sustainable it is to live around
or for art
● I also like the way he communicates with himself.
● So true!
● I didnt ask for help until I was 30

think that's pretty typical?
