Denise Johnson joins Ryan for this episode of Reason Bound to discuss generational mental health. When people are faced with trauma, getting professional help up to and including medication management can have an extremely positive effect on their lives. In spite of this, having mental health issues is still often stigmatized, with some going so far as to suggest depression, etc, doesn't exist or sum up mental health problems as: "white people issues". A guide for dealing with mental health needs from the American Psychological Association is discussed as well as home/school life and ethnic group differences in navigating mental health issues. The importance of breaking the cycle of generational dysfunction before bringing children into this world is heavily emphasized via a piece in Scientific American titled: "How Parents’ Trauma Leaves Biological Traces in Children".
