Acknowledging Mental Illness

This article is about living and coping with the mentally disabled this will consist of autism, anxiety, depression, Bipolar, PTSD, Bulimia, and Schizophrenia which are all illnesses we all have experienced or live with currently and in the past. These can be very upsetting for the person who currently is experiencing it and those around them. This is a decision I’ve made to make people more aware to mental illness.

This was made by Amber McGhee who is a six former at West lakes Academy currently studying product design at A-level. She decided to make this because she believes that mental disabilities aren’t something we can just look over. She also believes this will help with autistic children’s learning.

Mental Disabilities

Anxiety: Anxiety is the fear of possible outcomes in the future which may make you change the way you act in public.

Autism: Autism is a mental condition which occurs at the early stages of life and can have a low or dramatic effect on your entire life.

Bipolar: Bipolar is a condition that affects your moods which can swing from one extreme to another.

Bulimia: This is a mental disorder which makes you have a desire to constantly lose weight. This involves purposely making yourself feel sick and cough up what you have just ate.

Depression: Most people go through periods of feeling down but when you're depressed you feel persistently sad for weeks or months rather than just a few days.

PTSD: PTSD is caused when you experience a traumatic experience you will keep thinking about it eve when you don’t want to.
