Demi Lovato Mental Illness Analysis

438 Words2 Pages

Demi Lovato is an advocate for mental health, because of her having multiple mental illnesses, and also her father. I found this blog post by Lindsay Holmes called, “How Demi Lovato is Leading the Conversation about Mental Illness”. It starts off by saying, “Many people who experience mental illness feel like they have to suffer in silence due to negative stereotypes associated with their conditions. Demi Lovato is actively working to change that.” Just by reading the first two sentences, I knew that this blog was going to be truthful about how people are treated when they have a mental illness. Lovato spoke up about her mental illness 4 years ago, she went into rehab a few months before. She is not a perfect advocate for mental illnesses. …show more content…

“It's an encouraging trend, given that research shows many people with mental health conditions don't seek treatment due to fear of shame or judgment.” I strongly believe that this statement is true. Many are terrified of what others think of them, so they hide their feelings. So many don’t want to talk about what is going on in their mind. However, Demi Lovato says she, “personally finds that talking about what's going on in her mind gives her the perspective she needs, but it takes work and time to uncover what works best for each individual.” I truly believe this, because when I need someone to talk to, I talk to my best friend. She is always there for me, and she understands my problems. Lovato says, “You can live well with a mental illness, it may take time, but it’s worth it. You deserve to live a happy and healthy life.” Mental health is something that I am so passionate about that I would do anything to make people see that it is normal to have a mental illness. Demi Lovato helped me when I was depressed, and I am ready to help people like

    Throughout recent years, mental illness has become a belittled and “taboo” topic in a multitude of different societies. As a result, a majority of the world’s population isn’t exactly clear as to how one should approach those suffering from mental instability. Unlike physical illness, where an entire system of doctors and hospitals and medical research developed in order to cater to those who were physically ill, mental illnesses do not get nearly as much attention. Some would argue that a physical illness proves to be significantly more detrimental to one’s day to day life. However, observation of mentally ill individuals proves that mental illness can be as equally debilitating (you probably know someone in your life who has died from the

  • The C Word In The Hallway Analysis

    Anna Quindlen in the article, “The C Word in the Hallway” argues that mental illness don’t get enough awareness or help that it actually needs. Quindlen supports her argument by using similes, tone and bias’ to state that many teachers are not trained to recognize mental illness and so some just dismiss it and so that leaves “over two thirds of the mentally disturbed children without any help”. Insurance also does not aid in covering the costs because “health insurance plans do not provide coverage for necessary treatment”, or if they do then they think that they should “penalize those who need a psychiatrist instead of an oncologist”. The author's purpose in writing this was to inform people about the scary reality that many kids and teens face today and to argue that it is nothing to joke about and that it needs to be taken seriously.

This creates a negative bias in the medical field, which is where the mentally ill need help from the most.
