Mental Health Myths 🤥 Explanations ⬇️ 1. "W33d helps with mental health" Explanation: M@rijua@na contains two primary compounds: THC, which is psychoactive and can worsen mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and even psychosis, and CBD, which may have some calming effects in certain situations. However, as a whole, marijuana is not a proven treatment for mental health issues. In fact, heavy or long-term use of THC-heavy marijuana can increase the risk of mental health problems, especially in those with a predisposition to psychosis. 2. "Addiction is a choice" Explanation: Addiction is a chronic brain disease that changes how the brain functions, particularly in areas that govern decision-making, self-control, and reward. While the initial choice to use a substance may be voluntary, addiction is not about willpower. It often requires medical treatment and support to overcome because of the profound changes it makes to brain chemistry. 3. "Mental illness is a sign of weakness" Explanation: Mental illness is not a reflection of personal weakness or lack of character. Mental health disorders are caused by a complex combination of biological, genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. Much like physical illnesses, they require treatment and support, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 4. "You can snap out of d3press!on" Explanation: D3press!on is a serious mental health condition, not just a state of mind or bad mood that can be "snapped out of." It often requires a combination of therapy, medication, and support to manage. It affects brain chemistry and functioning, and overcoming it is not about willpower or simply thinking positive. 5. "Therapy is for 'crazy' people" Explanation: Therapy is a tool for anyone seeking mental well-being, personal growth, or support through difficult times. It’s not just for individuals with severe mental health conditions. In fact, therapy is beneficial for managing stress, building resilience, and developing coping skills for everyday life. 6. "Mental health issues last forever" Explanation: With the right treatment and support, many mental health issues can be managed or overcome entirely. Mental illness is not a life sentence. Recovery looks different for everyone, but it is possible for people to lead fulfilling, productive lives even after struggling with a mental health condition. #MentalHealth #myths #TikTokforGood #TikTok_Partner #WHOFides
