• Schizophrenia: patients usually have less brain tissue

  

• Major Depression: scans show less brain activity in depressed brain

  

• Alzheimer’s: brain tissue significantly shrinks, hippocampus is usually the first region to go

  

• ADHD: less brain activity in the frontal cortex (area associated with decision making) 

  

• OCD: high brain activity 

  

• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): hippocampal volume reduction (area involved in memory) and increased activation of the amygdala (area involved in emotional responses) 

  

This is so important! I usually don’t reblog posts but people need to understand that mental illnesses are NO CHOICE! You cannot get over it, or snap with your fingers and just be okay again. It takes constant fixing and a lot of strength to get out of this.
So to everyone who judges people with mental disorders: people don’t get a choice to develop a disorder or not, but being stupid and telling them to get over it is a choice.
PLEASE DONT JUDGE THINGS UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND!

i wanna shove these in my mom’s face every time she says “just push through it”

Going to start sending this to people.

I think this stuff is so interesting. Brains are the coolest thing ever. Nerdy-me aside… it’s also important to be aware of things like this because it’s not like someone can CHOOSE to change their brain chemistry or just add some more brain tissue or take it away whenever we want.

Please understand, mental illness is as serious and as legit as any other illness. It is determined by braim chemistry, NOT BY THE SUFFERER

9 Myths About The Behavioral (Mental Health) Hospital

thekatscorner:

1. You get put in padded room

You sleep in a room, with a regular floor and walls, a bed, blankets, a pillow, and a closet

2. Everyone there is terrifying

I have been twice and I am happy to say that everyone I met was pretty cool. There was a few people that were a bit scary to be around, but no one was very bad. I loved being around everyone there, They kept a smile on my faces and I made a lot…

My biggest fear of talking to someone about my problems was going to the hospital and that was because I believed in these myths.
If you need to talk to someone, please do.

fatthefuckup:

Support fat girls that have double chins and don’t have hourglass figures.

Support fat girls that are super curvy.

Support fat girls that eat junk food and don’t exercise.

Support fat girls that eat healthy and workout.

Support fat girls who want to lose weight.

Support fat girls who don’t want to lose a single pound.

We’re in this together, they’re no exceptions.

Tonight I opened up to my mom about my trichotillomania. I’ve never talked to anyone about it before..this is something that I have kept to myself for 10 years. I started when I was 12 years old, I am now 21. I have always felt shameful & embarrassed about it…and up until recently i haven’t really wanted to be vocal about it.

I guess the main point of this post is..if you have trich & need to talk to someone..I’m here, even if you just need to vent..you can❤️
