Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

The Power of Genetic Inheritance
The human behavior has always been one of the fascinating subjects in psychology. However, the mystery of what factor in life is it that makes us behave the way we do remains unanswered. Psychologists all over the world have spent years on determining the behavioral influences and until now, genetic inheritance and nurture are by far the most reasonable explanations when it comes to human behavior. There have been arguments about whether or not genetic inheritance influences an individual’s personality along with numerous studies to support the idea, including the study of Leonard L. Heston and J. M. Baily & R. C. Pillard, which are two famous examples when it comes to genetic inheritance.

I Got 99 Problems but My Kid's G.P.A. Isn't One
The work I do all day every day exposes me to a side of the world that is not pretty. At my nonprofit, FAVOR Greenville, we deal with all people in need, including those who are not immediately willing to change and we see the worst aspect of substance use disorder. We are knee deep in the country's deaths of despair epidemic.

World Mental Health Day
Today, October 10th, is World Mental Health Day, and I have not one, but two personal stories to share with everyone.

Battles
Today, I am angry. I am preparing myself for a battle. One that I will win. I have every confidence about that. But what I am angry about is that I shouldn't even have to fight for this. It is an injustice, and the other side is wrong for their behavior. What is happening is illegal, and will be resolved. It is being done to intimidate me and to get me to give up. I cannot specify any details regarding what is happening, because I am not risking it getting into the wrong hands and being used against me. I will only give these vague details, and say that they picked the wrong person to bully.

Bipolar and Depressed
I have been in a relationship for almost a year now with a girl who is Bipolar and deals with depression. The hard parts of the relationship are not so much these problems as it is on how she became this way.

Being with Someone with Depression
I will start off by saying that this is my experience and that this may not be everyone's experience, but I'm writing this for therapy reasons and just to share. So I will insert a trigger warning here for those of you who are triggered by suicide or depression; this post is not suitable for you.

The Conscious Spider
Subconscious beliefs enter our world way before we have any idea how much they can impact our future. Spiders. I've had my own battle with fears of spiders. Still today I can feel hair raising on the back of my neck as I come near a spider or have one crawl on me—but I push through.

How My Life Changed in One Night
My entire life shifted dramatically in one single night. In one single night, I lost all hope and fell into a deep depression, gaining only post-traumatic stress disorder, which also was not ideal.

No Two "Disableds" Are Exactly Alike
You know how someone attempts to reach out to someone with a mental or neurological disability, and think they know exactly what to expect, because they know one person with said disability? Those people should realize sooner or later that knowing what helps one person won't help everyone. We're as diverse as our neurotypical counterparts and, looking back, that fact makes me glad that IEPs exist, instead of just generalized educational plans that are made based on the entire portion of the student body that has the same disability as a single person.

White Hot Rage...
At 34, with more life experience than most 50-year-old humans, I have had my share of "incidents" if you will, that have made me bend, break, and finally snap. I have had my entire household of stuff stolen 2 or 3 times, I have had a car stolen only for me to find it ran out of gas... seat belts cut... and the windows down with the keys in it, I have had people pick fights with me for seemingly no reason, and strange shit just generally happens around me. I am much better than I used to be about losing it. I breathe, I meditate, I listen to music, I do every single thing I can to diffuse my mind and sometimes, just sometimes, I lose it.
