The brain's complexity continues to amaze me till this day. It is responsible for many physical features, but it is also what distinguishes us as humans. For instance, the mind is in charge of memory, learning, and emotion. Furthermore, our brain handles all of our mental processing making it such an important organ. Unfortunately, when it comes to mental health issues the cause can be biological, social or both. For instance, defects in neurotransmission, stress, injury, discrimination/bullying, trauma and other factors, can result in mental health problems. So while it is common for people to assume that those suffering from mental illnesses are simply "seeking attention" or can "sleep it off," this is in fact not the case. So be kind to others, because we can never comprehend someone's situation or consider their experiences unless we first listen, understand, and accept them. 💜
