People living with mental illness experience stigma everywhere. We are often faced with stigma at home, in the workplace, at school, in hospitals and doctors offices, and in public settings. People living with mental illness struggle with discrimination in a world that is largely still unaccepting of mental illness diagnoses, even today.

The 3 Etiologies of Mental Illness: the Supernatural, Somatogenic, and Psychogenic
The concept of mental illness dates all the way back to the Stone Age. However, our modern perception of what this means is far from the general understanding of mental illness in the past. Unlike other fields of medicine and science which usually follow a more linear pattern of discovery and research, the field of mental illness has taken a more cyclical pattern throughout history, with philosophers, doctors, and psychiatrists through the years circling between different theories of etiology relating to mental illness. Etiology is the study of finding the specific cause for a disease or condition. In general, there are three theories of etiology surrounding mental illness: the supernatural, somatogenic, and psychogenic.

The Real Story of a Teacher During COVID
I began my journey as a teacher back in 2012. Fresh out of college then, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I don't think any amount of teacher prep programs can adequately prepare you for teaching; it's just something you have to learn by doing. At the ripe age of 23, I was a novice; completely unprepared for the journey ahead. However, I did learn a few valuable things in that first year. For example, sometimes you have to change the lesson plan right in the middle of teaching it. You should prepare for the unpredictable, and, take it from me, you should never spend too much money on incentives (candy) for your students because they are just going to end up stealing it all from you. (yes, that actually happened. Some kids broke into one of my cabinets and stole about 45-50 dollars worth of candy I had purchased for the school year.)
