@Eidelweiss I hope that one day mental health can be normalized in our society. As much as we advertise all the resources for helping people with mental health, we still see a large population struggling regardless of the resources provided. #dskgeod#MentalHealthMatters
How can a community social distance (which DOES prevent infections of Covid) but also not face the unintended consequences of social isolation? https://t.co/kIgBDFCADu… #dskgeod
Solitude is not always a negative thing. With a balance of both sides, we can learn how to improve our well being through a spiritual perspective. https://t.co/x9hBq3oAML #dskgeod
Loneliness levels have reached an all-time high, with nearly half of 20,000 U.S. adults reporting they sometimes or always feel alone. Please read here for the risks of social isolation. https://t.co/uajywYcPo5 #dskgeod#Isolation
Loneliness can be damaging to both our mental and physical health. And socially isolated individuals are less able to deal with stressful situations. #dskgeod#psy101
Psy 101: humans thrive in social settings, even if you are an introvert. We need human connection to strengthen our well-being, especially in times like these. #dskgeod#COVID19
Getting professional help is not a sign of weakness. It’s doing the right thing for yourself, and things can get better. But you need to make the necessary steps to get there. #dskgeod#mentalhealthisimportant
“Transgender persons have higher rates of depression and anxiety compared to others.” As a result of inadequate social support, teens have an increased risk of suicide. https://t.co/WsK9RvBqXm #dskgeod
Adoption agencies should not be allowed to discriminate against couples in the LGBT group. What do you think about this article? https://t.co/cneRavJkuf #dskgeod
To be clear, without identification, one cannot travel, register for school or access many services that are essential to function in society. So the lack of accurate identity documents amongst this group has a huge impact on their lives. #TransRights#dskgeod
Anti-transgender violence as increased over the years, and transgender people have few options for protecting themselves from violence or seeking justice. https://t.co/7abhbauFvk #dskgeod
The LGBTQ community still faces the stigma based on being characterized as mentally ill, socially deviant and sexually predatory. How can we better our communities to promote an improved atmosphere for every individual? #dskgeod
There is still no comprehensive non-discrimination law that includes gender identity. There is definitely a lack of legal protection for the LGBTQ community. https://t.co/fggfroTQn0 #dskgeod
@CDC_DASH Attempted suicide was found to be higher among transgender teens, with 35% reported having tried to commit suicide in the past year. Instead of neglecting teens, we need to help them reach out for resources. https://t.co/WsK9RvBqXm #dskgeod#TransRights
@FRCdc@YouTube I am curious to know what sparked the regret for many people who had transitioned? I think there is a lack of information about how many people actually regret the change... #dskgeokd
@mitrano_vanessa I love that!! It really is the little/simple things that can help us get through difficult times. I also love to take warm showers as a time to destress. #dskgeod
Now more than ever is the time to take care of our mental health. Stress during an infectious disease outbreak can sometimes cause the strongest minds to struggle. What are some ways that you de-stress???? #dskgeod#MentalHealthMatters
Prolonged school closures are likely to have a major and negative affect on children’s learning, leaving some students behind academically for years to come. #dskgeod#education
Having inconsistent thoughts towards C-19 can produce mental discomfort leading to an alteration in our actions. Psychologist Leon Festinger explains how human behaviour can be confusing and conflicting during stressful times in someone's life. #dskgeod

We have this notion to seek professional help when things are broken, but we should see it as a way to maintain something. Just like maintaining your physical health when exercising and eating healthy. It's all about the maintenance. #dskgeod#mentalwellness
