Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
I'm begging you to deconstruct
I'm 30, and traditionally at this age there is an expectation that you start settling into who you are as a person. Even in this ever aging society where the generations begin to linger on for good or ill, 30 is a big age. But it's also still quite young. Even if we have great hardships ahead, I can expect to make it at least another 30 years and probably more like 50 given family history of longevity and personal health. Even feeling older than I've ever felt, I still also feel young. And this is an example of how we need to reframe how we think about everything.

The Things Life Never Warned Me About
By Nadeem Shah Life has a strange way of teaching lessons we never signed up for. When I was younger, I imagined growing up would be a linear path—school, career, love, stability, and then happiness neatly tucked at the end. I had it all mapped out, confident that if I followed the rules, life would reward me.

How to Support a Friend Who Is Struggling with Their Mental Health
There’s a certain kind of silence that tells you more than any confession ever could. It hangs in the air heavy, deliberate as though your friend has decided to let you see only the edges of their storm.

Why Vulnerability is My Greatest Strength
By Nadeem Shah For most of my life, I wore armor. Not the kind made of steel and iron, but the invisible kind—woven from silence, guarded smiles, and perfectly rehearsed “I’m fine” responses. I convinced myself that strength meant never letting anyone see the cracks. If people didn’t see my pain, they couldn’t use it against me. If they didn’t know my fears, they couldn’t hurt me.

The Invisible Weight of Anxiety
By: Nadeem Shah Anxiety isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s not the shaking hands, the racing heart, or the heavy breathing you see in movies. Sometimes it’s a quiet, constant hum in the back of your mind—a relentless narrator that never shuts up.

The Halo Effect: How Physical Attractiveness Skews Our Judgment. AI-Generated.
The Halo Effect: How Physical Attractiveness Skews Our Judgment Have you ever met someone and instantly assumed they were kind, intelligent, or trustworthy simply because they were physically attractive? That instant, almost unconscious leap in judgment is no accident it’s called the Halo Effect, one of the most powerful psychological biases influencing our perceptions every day. This phenomenon occurs when one positive trait, such as beauty, creates a “halo” that leads us to assume other unrelated positive traits. In other words, our brains are quick to believe that “good-looking” equals “good person.”
