I was raised with immigrant parents and it took a doctor using a medical textbook to convince them I had clinical depression

[@ellespencer8563]

Same. I’m 40 and was “just” diagnosed with ADHD. Turns out I was diagnosed with it as a little kid and they just…ignored it? Denied it? Much too much of a American problem. Meanwhile I always thought I was a whack job. Now I’m a whack job who has better executive function.

"There's a lotta 'Ted Talks' going on in comedy right now." - Godfrey

[@FrancisChrist]

so cool that you quoted Godfrey

[@rijd2304]

Comedy has always expressed the current things happening in the world in a unique way. It's interesting how mental health is becoming a topic, and maybe it's good...helping destigmatize it or help people realize they're not alone. I had anxiety for a long time, books like "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels and "The Power of Now' by Tolle really helped a lot.

A friend of mine (who is a therapist) said once: "Without the medicine, you are just a bunch of synthoms. With the right medicine, you are your true self." I stopped being embarrassed of being on meds that day

[@Br0nto5aurus]

Watching comedians who struggle with mental illness talk about mental illness is healing. Watching comedians who don't struggle with mental illness talk about mental illness is cringey at best. I felt for a long time like I couldn't seek help for my mental illnesses because I didn't have a "right" to feel so awful all the time and hate my life because nothing very traumatic has ever happened to me. "You're privileged to have a mental illness" is a damaging take to public mental health.

[@rainbowyarn]

Yeah, some of these felt a little shitty.

[@cheryllemme9332]

I agree. I've suffered my entire life with depression. Nothing funny about it. Not happy or grateful, definitely not privileged.

[@ursa8772]

Absolutely agree, the difference between the comedians here who have struggled with mental health and those who haven’t is striking. Hearing some of these people is like hearing the worst parts of my inner voice shouting back at me.

[@Chickenface12345]

Agreed, but it's an easy joke to go for, so they do it. Not all of their material can be brilliant.

[@itoibo4208]

I am not sure what you are talking about, but the one lady was saying if you are poor and depressed, you cannot afford therapy to find out, so people will just call you lazy or whatever, but when you have money, you can afford to be diagnosed with a mental illness. now you are not lazy, you are depressed and you have the reciepts, literally, to prove it.

[@helenl3193]

The USA's healthcare system is so wild. As a Brit, with universal healthcare I'd never considered mental health issues a wealth/class indicator, but actually getting diagnosis and treatment legit is over there. It's kinda a weird reversal because a few decades ago the adage was poor people are crazy; rich people are _eccentric_. But I guess these days it's poor people are either so impacted they're "crazy" and avoided; while rich(er) people are diagnosed with specific conditions.

[@helenl3193]

To be clear, when I say poor people are crazy I mean those who cannot pass in school/work/society as 'normal' (which is a nonsensical concept for a person no healthier than 'perfect') and/or whose struggle to cope undiagnosed/unsupported leads them into maladaptive coping mechanisms, such as numbing the pain/taking the edge off through addictions, etc, which then makes them stereotypically crazy/disfunctional outliers in their communities. Just wanted to be clear I don't think it's ever been true that there are fewer people who suffer mental health issues in a particular financial/class demographic, (although I'm fairly sure the types of issues may vary due to environmental factors) but western capitalist societies have always had different rules about which of those groups get/deserve compassion and treatment/care for their ailments vs who gets left to fall through the cracks/dumped in a cruel institution, etc.

[@meghanmonroe]

As a poor American on disability, I have limited access to healthcare which, I suppose, is better than none. But when it comes to mental health services, seeing the wrong therapist can be pretty useless. And I'm dealing with more than just garden variety depression and anxiety (e.g. bipolar, borderline pd, CPTSD).

[@lnt305]

Weirdly, depression is not equally distributed. Like, if you don’t control for confounders, black people are more likely to be depressed and if you do, less likely.

[@turtlesauce6860]

@@meghanmonroe Yes! Bad therapy is worse than no therapy at all! I'm also a poor American on disability, and medicare and medicaid and LIS because I'm a cancer patient (my treatment costs $20K a month) with severe CPTSD and I can verify that the mental healthcare we have access to is bottom of the barrel! I've learned the hard way that The System is indeed useless when it comes to treating trauma. They only want to pay for generic talk therapy, which doesn't help a lot of trauma because it's stored in the body, the limbic system, the non-cognitive parts of the brain, and talk therapy can actually re-traumatize you if they don't know how to protect you. If you haven't already, please check out Dr. Gabor Mate - he really explains it well and is a good place to start. The algorithms will lead you to a larger field of doctors who are finding a much better approach to treating trauma. Somatic work - get out of the head and into the body and work it out through movement and breathing or tapping (EFT). There are a lot of amazing modalities like different forms of yoga, embodiment, breathwork, vagus nerve work, music (mindful hand drumming is saving me right now). I don't mean to be preachy - the only way I've been able to hang on is to learn about this stuff on my own because the System was only making it worse. Talk therapy never worked for me and I thought it was my fault. It's a very collaborative group of experts -they put out a lot of free talks, webinars, YT videos, podcasts, free apps etc. It's helped me find different things that help me calm my own nerves that the system doesn't cover, and I really didn't have to pay much for the education. I really hope you're still hanging in there 9 months later!

I literally DO observe the feeling. I have this new sense of detachment that I'm still figuring out. That's definitely a perk cuz I can talk myself down from the ledge like Im my own therapist, but then I also can't FEEL either. (I know it's temporary -my dad just died), but it's unnerving.

[@br3669]

@@Roxie3378 If you've just been told you have stage 4 cancer, feeling sad and hopeless is an appropriate response to your situation. If you live in a war zone and you know a bomb could be dropped on your house any day, intense fear is an appropriate response to your situation. If you don't have enough money to make the next rent payment, worrying about your future is an appropriate response to your situation. But people with depression or anxiety or panic attacks have these feelings without the external reasons for such feelings. It's not the feeling that makes it a mental health disorder, it's the fact that your life is good enough that the feeling isn't warranted by your circumstances.
