themighty.comthemighty.com:

After participating in my first few protests for Black Lives Matter and being exposed to stories of injustices happening in my community that I’d never heard about, I learned the importance of advocacy.

Hearing stories from people speaking at these protests made me realize that as a White woman in America, I will never know what it truly is like to be Black in America, and I can gain an understanding from listening to others’ stories.

For change to happen, I need to listen, learn and be willing to do things differently. But in order for me to listen, someone with lived experience needs to talk, to tell their story, to help open my eyes to the truth that’s been here all along.

I Wish I Would Have Known More About Miscarriage Before Having One
The moment I realized I was pregnant, I tried to dial my emotions down. I used the term “cautiously optimistic” because I wanted to make sure that I was not overly attached to my pregnancy in case I would become one in four people who miscarry. I only told a handful of friends and always made sure to include the sentence “We are excited, but I’m only telling people who could support me through a miscarriage right now.” Even knowing the statistics, and my increased likelihood because of my ongoing battle with PCOS and hypothyroidism, I was still excited.

Why My Choices Matter in Life With Crohn's Disease
I’ve been a “Crohnie” for 31 years. In that time I’ve had ileostomy surgery, resections, ER visits for blockages, and flare-ups which are too many to count. Dealing with this disease isn’t “a walk in the park” as some may think. There’s abdominal pain that doesn’t go away as well as spasms, fatigue, sore joints, and side effects from medications that can affect certain organs.  Each patient has different symptoms and they respond differently to the treatments they receive. I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve put together a “survival plan” for myself whenever I’m not feeling well. It helps me get through the rough patches so I’m not constantly focusing on the downside of Crohn’s disease.

10 Things I Learned While Living With a Rare Illness
I was diagnosed with a disease called arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) at the age of 4. I’ve had this disease since birth and went misdiagnosed for those first 4 years. Basically, AVMs are a tangle of blood vessels where my arteries and veins don’t connect properly. My high-pressure arteries go straight into my low-pressure veins with no capillary bed to mitigate this flow. This condition is rare, inoperable, and there is no cure.

Why Some Black People Might Be Wary of a COVID-19 Vaccine
Under the guise of receiving free health care from the federal government of the United States, a syphilis study was conducted by the U.S. Public Health Services at Tuskegee from 1932-1972 on unsuspecting African American men. The purpose of the study really was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis. These men suffered for 40 years for no reason but the “scientific value” of their health.

Correcting Britain's Vitamin D deficiency could save thousands of lives

There is one chemical that is known to be safe, known to be needed by many people anyway, known to have a clinically proven track record of helping people fight off respiratory diseases, and is so cheap no big firm is pushing it: vitamin D.

What TV Star Kelsey Darragh Can Teach Us About Mental Health Advocacy
When I was diagnosed with mental illnesses back in 1996, I decided to keep it a secret from friends, family and colleagues. I had a significant amount of shame and did not want anyone to think less of me or that I could not do my job. In 200, I had a major breakdown and there was no keeping my secret, so I came out of the closet to family, friends and some colleagues. I felt I had no choice, but I was surprised at what sharing my story would do for me.

The First Time I Thought About Suicide, I Was 6 Years Old
The first time I thought about suicide, I was 6 years old. Over the last half a decade, after speaking with hundreds of people about the subject while making a documentary, I learned I wasn’t the only one who first thought about suicide at that age. I talked to several other people, strangers who didn’t know each other, who told me they were 6 years old the first time they wanted to die. There was something about the age of 6 and suicide ideation that made me curious. What made other children, at such a young age, think about dying?

Living With an Undiagnosed Illness Is Hard but Not Impossible
Living with any sort of illness can be difficult, but when doctors don’t know what’s wrong or how to help life can seem almost impossible. When I was undiagnosed and bedridden for three years, I vowed to myself that if I ever found out how to make such a dark and difficult time better I would shout it from the rooftops. Not literally, but I would do my absolute best to get the message out there to people who are struggling in the same way. So, these are my tips for living with an undiagnosed illness to feel better physically and mentally. As well as everything I wish I knew.

Meta-Analysis: Prevalence of ADHD Diagnoses Higher Among Black Americans
September 22, 2020Black Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD) than the general population, according to findings of a systematic review and meta-analysis published in JAMA Psychiatry.1 These findings seem to contradict the DSM-5, which suggests that the prevalence of ADHD is relatively lower among Black individuals. The new meta-analysis did not determine whether the higher diagnosis rate is due to elevated risk factors for Black Americans, culturally insensitive evaluation tools, racial bias, other factors, or some combination therein.Black individuals living in countries where they are considered a minority are underrepresented in studies evaluating ADHD.

What Hang Gliding Taught Me About Bravery in Life With Chronic Illness
Recently I went hang gliding for the first (and possibly last) time. My friend came with me and we signed up for a package that included an introductory lesson with individual gliders and a tandem ride with an experienced pilot. When I called to make the reservations, I asked the person on the phone how physically intensive the lesson would be. She said there was some walking and running, but that most people should be able to handle it.

New Study Shows How Racial Bias Impacts Mental Health Care for Black Community
What happened: A new study revealed that Black patients often fear seeing mental health specialists amid concerns that they will be stereotyped and judged based on their race. The research by the Regenstrief Institute looked at how patients interpret verbal and non-verbal communication when seeking care. The researchers interviewed 85 Black veterans needing mental health services. According to the study, the veterans identified threatening cues which included, “lack of racial diversity representation in health care settings and perceptions of providers’ fears of Black patients.” Researchers said the study should help guide providers in offering better care for minority groups,
