so I told my parents that I’m actually considering psychiatry, and they straight up told me to stop because apparently it’s only for crazy people and it’s going to make me crazy. Like deadass, why did I expect anything else? Brown people, especially the older generations, don’t believe in psychiatric problems and mental illness in general. But I guess this would be a good way to break the stigma and start talking about real shit that impacts our community. I guarantee study about immigrants and mental illness would show that a majority of them are depressed and actually need help.
We’ll see fam, this conversation hasn’t ended.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
