There is a lot of shame surrounding addiction, and this may deter people from seeking treatment. It is common for one to face rejection from friends or family when they become open about their addiction and because of this fear, they often feel too ashamed to seek help. The person who is addicted will then continue to hide their addiction, often resulting in disastrous consequences. A 2015 study showed that only 20% of current opioid addicts receive treatment for their addiction, and a lot of this is attributed to stigma. By stigmatizing drug addiction and discouraging addicts from seeking treatment, we are allowing the life-ruining effects of addiction to continue

Because I 'm older, curious by nature, and an avid reader of research (domestic and worldwide), and because social issues matter greatly to me, I didn 't really learn anything new from the documentary. However, it confirmed for me that my fears and growing apprehension about gun violence and guns in general are valid.

To me, this video was really inspiring and encouraging. I agree with what Meg Jay had to say and am currently working on bettering myself and my future. It is hard to make a lot of life choices right out of high school and

This video was very surprising, instructive, informative, depressing and occasionally infuriating. I have always known that there were a lot of factors that influence ones health, but I had never really expected it to be this disturbing reality. The video presents a lot of surprising information with any luck individuals will ask themselves serious questions like I did. Optimistically, after seen the video people can account to the things that need to be addressed in order to eliminate this factors and not be eager to judge a set of group of individuals.

After listening to this recording for several hours I have gained insight on what it is for someone to have schizophrenia. I am glad that we got the opportunity to do this otherwise I would have never known why these people act the way they do. I believe that they are people just like us, but after this recording I truly empathize them and what they are going through. While I was listening to this recording I started off by trying to study, but then had to stop because I could not focus on what I was trying to memorize from all of the voices. I just thought to myself at that point how strong these individuals are because they are not able to stop a recording they have to push through and try to live a normal life without being able to pause these noises.

First, I thought the videos were very fascinating but also very hard to watch and very disheartening. It’s amazing to see how the treatment of those suffering from mental illnesses has improved in recent years, but it’s also unbelievable that some treatments were ever used. I am not a doctor and do not have any medical training, but it’s hard to believe that making people have seizures and go into a coma was a beneficial way to treat mental illnesses. It’s also hard to wrap my mind around the fact that someone would ever intentionally put something into someone’s brain to lessen the brain’s

Drug addiction is stigmatized throughout society. Stigma is seen in all types of situations; race, religion, disease, mental health, addiction, what a person’s social and economic standing is. All those examples can be stigmatized, and we, ourselves, do this every day and may not know we are. Because society and especially the media has engrained these moral judgments in our minds about what is right or what is normal. But we should take a second to think about these things a little more in depth before defaulting to what we think we know about these problems. In the case of drug addiction, we see stigma in all types of shapes and sizes. Whether in the media or walking to class with a group of friends, we see it more often than not. That feeling you get when you see a person on the street walking through the rows of cars at a stoplight. Some people (myself included) roll up their windows and avoid eye contact hoping they will just walk by. Chances are that person is in that situation because of a serious addiction and really needs help, but isn’t afforded that chance because we the normal people avoid them at all cost. Maybe we can change that. Maybe we can break through these common stigmas and begin to make a change in the way addiction is viewed in society.

Personally, speaking I to was once part of the homeless population at the age of twenty I was living in a shelter with my two children. Throughout that time, I met several women also resided in the same shelter. Some of which has mental health issues such as depression. Nonetheless, after watching this video and I began to reflect on both the movie and my past experiences. I truly feel there is a lot of bias which exist within the mental health system. For instance, individuals with low incomes are treated differently due to their inability to pay or type of insurance.

In the movie ,The human experience, is 3 differents experiences from homeless to abused children and many african people being sick. The experience the young man went through can really change how someone feels and change their mind set. This helps society a little by seeing other peoples point of view and how their is people who have it worst and we should value life and how we need to find who we are. We find healing and forgiveness by loving our self by valuing life how it is and making the best of it. We need to find our self to forgive and to heal to know that life is a treasure. We do mistakes and learn but sometimes we should have our feet in the ground and appreciate everything we have and the people that surround us because everyone is valuable.

PostText7: The idea of rehabilitating addictive behavior dates to the early temperance movement in 19th-century America.

This video opened my eyes to the extent of how much of our reality is perceived in the brain. The technical explanations of the brain and the communications through the neuron and their signals slightly confused me; however, I understood the pathways of our nerves and how they connect to the brain. After watching this video, a lot of things became clearer to me. The lives of people told in this video were very intriguing. I’m not exactly sure why, but the thought of having your own unique perception of the world calmed me. Overall, this video made me want to hear more about actual effects involving brain problems, instead of learning about the actual anatomy of the brain: neuro signals, neural networks, columns, etc.,

Those struggling with addiction are a heavily stigmatized group and often

Most drug users, addicts, and even dealers are stigmatized, labelled, and marginalized. Most drug users tend to come about due to being members of underprivileged communities; most are outcasts, unemployed, poor, homeless, or uneducated. Most have been sexually and/or physically assaulted or have just been around drugs from other family members. There is also a strain on many people in stigmatized societies to move up in society; this can be very hard and individuals are usually not motivated. There is the impact of social exclusion on young adults which can also cause the individual to become a drug user to get away from the problems trying to live a stress-free life.

This film was designed well. I felt that this film was intended to help people understand schizophrenia from the view point of the person with the mental illness. It changed my perception of people with this mental illness. Before watching this film, I was unware of the functions that each part of the brain took and the effects on each part of the brain for a person with this mental illness. I learned that the brain of a person with schizophrenia is physiologically and anatomically different. One comment that was made on the video that changed my previously held believes was that people with schizophrenia turn to drugs for a solution. Before, I thought that people with schizophrenia

I have seen many movies on this topic before but I found this one really emotional. Along with being funny many parts of this movie were also very educational. This movie had a many lessons hidden in it but one of the main one was that we should be accepting of what others are like and we should not be telling them to change their way of life just because we cannot accept them they way they are.
