Over a couple of weeks during the summer, a dozen people met regularly In Historic Filipinotown in a light-filled multipurpose room at Search To Involve Pilipino Americans, which developed the program.
A handful of college-age facilitators trained by the community organization taught eight teenage students about signs of depression and anxiety — and ways to cope through journaling and breathing exercises.

My mother is Korean and anything to do with mental health is absolutely shut up and taboo to talk about; or she outright just labels you "Crazy"

Bethina Lee Discussing Challenges? Always a Problem! Shouldn't be, No More than a "Heel Spur" Thankfully My "Shrinks" were Cut Out of the Conversation because of "Medical Ethics" at the Time, Not So Sure How Hard it would be to Maintain those Now! I got to Retire as a NSA/DIA Spook in Great Standings! "Crazy" "Bi-Polar" Aspergers" are Just Labels, I Had Skill Sets that the Naval Intelligence Community Valued. Although Sometimes Cold and Aloof!

I always said to my mom
"If I'm crazy, what does that say to people about you? After all you are my mother?"
LOL, the evil look she would give me..
Honey, let me tell you like this..it's people like us that makes life interesting for the rest of the world. Because being "Normal" is overrated and there is no tangible proof what qualifies as being "Normal" in the human race.
I get the same because I would always out geek my supervisors in my scientific knowlegde and education in nomenclature, IDing all plant material customers brought in, always dead on point in diagnosis of plant/tree/shrub/grass/soil
and the viruses, bacteria, entomology, and treatment chemically or biologically. I said to one of my co-workers
"There goes one of your Educated overpaid supervisors/managers with several degrees in botany, biology, horticulture, agriculture...and they don't know the a$$ from a hole in the ground"
I always had repetitive clientele come back for many, many decades...

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel they actually have a "Cure" in the works for Alzheimer's...it's basically a buildup of some type of plaque in your neuro-pathways and your brain stopped communicating. I'll post a link and there are things you can do to prevent this...
