Writing by Dr. Dannielle Blumenthal

Many of the social problems we witness are the result of mental distress. Yet there is still a heavy social stigma on talking about such things. If we want to do something to make the world a better place, let’s understand current events as a collection of human perceptions and experiences. This doesn’t mean to excuse bad behavior or crime. It does mean to think about how we can make our social institutions more conducive to mental health. The personal is political.
