My Experience Learning about Mental Health Disabilities

By Jennifer Fernandez

 my portion of the disabilities presentation I was able to make a lot of interesting and useful discoveries. My topic of research was anxiety and depression. I feel like my generation has a lot of anxiety and depression growing up and it's very important for everyone to be informed on how to catch signs of these disabilities and how to help both others and yourself.



I'm very glad to have been a part of this presentation to raise awareness for disabilities especially my particular subgroup focused on psychological disabilities. My group consisted of both Amanda and Katie who focused on post-traumatic stress disorders, psychosis, and eating disorders to name a few.  

Mental Health Corona GIF by INTO ACT!ONI was able to find out the risks of undiagnosed depression and anxiety which in extreme cases can lead to the loss of a loved one. It's very important to be able to notice signs of depression in those we love. Signs include but are not limited to: lack of sleep, loss of enthusiasm in hobbies and favorite activities, eating too much or too little, racing thoughts, sleeping too much, low self-esteem, etc. I was able to acknowledge in the presentation how to help those suffering from depression and anxiety which is to be there for them and possibly get them professional help I also noted that it is always important to take care of your own mental health in helping someone you love who is struggling you can't help anybody if you don't help know how to care for yourself first.

Ignoring that however we all were fluent and confident in what we were saying and I had a great experience with my group everybody did their part and their research and I was able to learn a lot not only from my own personal part and research but everyone's point in the presentation.

          Today I will be writing a blog about our presentations regarding disabilities. I was really interested in this presentation because it allowed me to learn about different disabilities in depth and gain more knowledge about how to help people in these situations. I was also kind of nervous about how I would present my ideas for this project. I wanted to make sure that how or what I said did not come across as offensive to some people and I wanted to make sure the information was accurate.           Group 1’s presentation was about mobility, spinal, and head disabilities. They explained what each disability was and they gave examples for each type. They also described how these disabilities affect a person's life and how they can get these types of disabilities. I felt that they did a really good job presenting but I do feel that they should have tried to keep a cohesive theme throughout their powerpoint and that they could have added more pictures or less writing per slide

Educating people on these different types of disabilities would allow for the world to be accessible for all, which is why this project is so beneficial to us. This project opened my eyes to the different types of disabilities that we may not even be able to see.  In order to successfully complete this project we divided our group into smaller groups, with each member focusing on a specific disability, ensuring we explain it thoroughly and effec
