Several weeks ago, a colleague recommended this Half-Joking Podcast hosted by @adriennemaree w Prentis Hemphill, Spenta Kandawalla, and Staci K. Haines. I’ve listened to it three times already and have recommended it repeatedly. Here are 3 lessons & quotes. keithedwards.com/2019/06/07/3-l…

Just a reminder: Everyone has “mental health”- just like everyone has “physical health”. We all exist ona spectrum. Just because a person does not have a diagnosis of a mental “illness” does not mean they are not in distress or have delusions that impact their choices.

Mhealth is a spectrum that we all exist on. There is no evidence those w/mental illness diagnoses committ more violence. People who commit violence can have poor mental health,be in distress & delusional.That does not deflect from the need for gun control policy. Hold it all fam.

Another reminder— “mental illness” is a construct created to name experiences of distress and pathologize those of us who can’t fully participate in capitalism or to control marginalized groups. The framework of the DSM at times is vague, racist, transphobic and unclear.

White supremacy offers belonging to those living in isolation. It has always exploited the desperation of that isolation, the desperation of belonging, to enact violence.
