Surprise surprise Mental Health might not be the Myth Our Education System Treats It to be (pun intended)

The birthday party ended, and we all headed home. Just another night. Just another celebration. Or so I thought. An hour later, I got a text from my friend. "I'm sorry."

That was it. Just two words. But something about them sent a chill down my spine. I called. No answer. Tried again. Nothing.

Panic set in. I didn’t want to overthink it, but my brain was already showing me scenarios I didn’t want to see. So I called her mom. “Did she reach home?” Her mom said yes—but then added something that made my heart drop.

"She just left again."

I don’t even remember what I said next, just that I begged her to find my friend and bring her back. She did—just in time. My friend was heading toward the roof of her building.She was later diagnosed with depression. And that’s when it hit me: this can happen to anyone, at any time, and most of us wouldn’t even know how to recognize it.

So Why Are We Still Pretending Mental Health Isn’t Real?

How many times have we heard, “It’s all in your head” or “You’re just overreacting” from parents, relatives, teachers? Meanwhile, 468 people in India take their own lives every single day—but sure, let’s act like it’s just an “excuse.”

The problem isn’t just stigma—it’s ignorance. Most people don’t know the signs of depression, anxiety, or trauma because we were never taught. We had algebra, history, and physics drilled into us—but nothing about how our own brains work.

It's Time to Change That.

WeDidIt and Middlemen.asia are pushing a petition to mandate mental health education in schools. Because if kids are old enough to learn about photosynthesis and Pythagoras, they’re old enough to learn how to take care of their minds. Early education means:

✅ Kids learning to recognize their emotions and seek help.

✅ Parents not dismissing mental health struggles as “drama.”

✅ A generation that actually prioritizes emotional well-being.

"Just cheer up" isn’t a mental health strategy. Even the United Nations agrees—because real well-being takes more than good vibes and deep breaths.

Signing a petition won’t magically fix everything. But it’s a step. A way to show that we’re done watching people suffer in silence just because society refuses to acknowledge reality. So let’s make noise. Sign the petition. Share it. Talk about it. Because the worst thing we can do isn’t hating those who struggle—it’s being indifferent to them. Sign Here & Be the Change.

Re-introducing Dr. Monica Blied

Allow me to re-introduce myself: I’m Dr. Monica Blied. I am a clinical psychologist, adjunct professor at Pepperdine University, 2025 Chair of the California Psychological Association's Division of Education and Training, app creator, wife, and mother of three auwesome kids.

In my private practice, I provide neuropsychological assessments for ADHD and Autism for both children and adults in California, and specialize in supporting twice-exceptional, AFAB, and gender non-conforming individuals in testing. With my therapy clients, I focus on mind-body-spirit whole health care and managing chronic illness.

In 2022, I created the "Faces of Health" app, which teaches mental health and stress management skills through short, educational videos, all led by women of color. Building on this work, I launched online courses in 2024 on adult ADHD & Autism, and neuroscience-based stress reduction training, along with the "AuDHD Strong" app, which offers research-backed tools to help you improve executive functioning and better manage stress.

My approach is deeply rooted in both scientific expertise and my personal experience. In 2012, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus (SLE) and fibromyalgia, and I’m also a late-diagnosed neurodivergent individual. Navigating these challenges myself has shaped my practice in a way that blends evidence-based techniques with empathy and real-world understanding.

The Impact of Early Mental Health Education: Shaping Healthier Futures

Early mental health education is crucial in shaping emotionally resilient, well-rounded individuals. Introducing mental health awareness from a young age can help break down the stigma surrounding mental health issues, promoting a healthier, more open society for future generations. But why is this early intervention so important, and what impact does it have?

Building Emotional Intelligence

Teaching children about mental health from an early age helps them understand and express their emotions in healthy ways. They learn to recognize and communicate their feelings, whether it’s anger, sadness, or anxiety. This emotional intelligence is key in building strong relationships, making informed decisions, and handling challenges with resilience. As adults, they’ll be better equipped to manage stress, overcome adversities, and maintain their overall well-being.

Early Detection and Prevention

Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders can manifest in children and adolescents. Without early education, these conditions often go unnoticed or misunderstood, leading to long-term consequences. By teaching children about mental health, we can detect early signs of distress and intervene before issues escalate. Early intervention leads to better outcomes, enabling children to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

Reducing Stigma and Fostering Empathy

Mental health education helps dismantle the stigma associated with mental illness. When children understand that mental health issues are as real and valid as physical illnesses, they are more likely to approach these topics with empathy and openness. This creates a more supportive environment where individuals feel safe to seek help without judgment. In the long run, this reduces the societal stigma surrounding mental health, paving the way for a more compassionate world.

Creating a Culture of Support

Schools, families, and communities that prioritize mental health education foster a culture of support. Children and teenagers are encouraged to express their feelings and seek help when needed. This open environment can prevent feelings of isolation and reduce the risk of mental health crises in the future. When young people grow up knowing that it’s okay to ask for help, they are more likely to maintain strong mental health throughout their lives.

Incorporating Mental Health in Schools

Many schools are now integrating mental health programs into their curricula, focusing on mindfulness, emotional regulation, and social skills. Teachers and staff are trained to recognize signs of mental health challenges and respond appropriately. This holistic approach ensures that children not only learn academic subjects but also gain the skills necessary for emotional well-being.

The Role of Parents and Caregivers

Parents play a vital role in reinforcing mental health education at home. Open communication, active listening, and emotional support can go a long way in helping children feel understood and valued. Encouraging children to talk about their feelings, praising their efforts in managing emotions, and modeling healthy behavior can significantly contribute to their mental health.

Early mental health education is a powerful tool in shaping healthier, more resilient individuals and societies. By equipping young people with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate their emotions, we can prevent future mental health crises and create a world where mental health is prioritized, understood, and respected.
