Thank you @newsmax, @lidianews1 and @michaelgrimm_

Thank you @newsmax, @lidianews1 and @michaelgrimm__ny for having me on to discuss such a crucial and important topic.

What is the behind the rise of violence in the U.S?
.

Everything always comes back to the state of our mental health. The pandemic has truly shifted our nation, and now we are seeing a mixture of more gangs, more guns, no school safety mixed with the lack of emotional stability. Many will say it starts at home… but I truly believe our parents overwhelmed with the mental state of our world today. Many will say what are schools doing about it? I say we don’t have enough teachers, we don’t pay educational staff enough and we’ve lost so many of our educators and safety officers due to COVID-19.
.
.
While we do need to hold people accountable for their actions, we also need to place programs in our school systems that help with the severe emotional issues that these children are facing. There are record numbers of anxiety, depression and suicide among the ages of 9-18.

THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES FOR OUR YOUTH AND THAT IS THE SIMPLE ANSWER!

What are your thoughts?

Thank you @CNN for having me discuss such an important topic. DEPRESSION can hit the human mind any moment or time and in this case for Sen. Fetterman his stroke has triggered his depression.
.
When someone has a stroke it can 100% can trigger depression. There’s something called an infarct, which is dying tissue of the brain because the vessels of the brain are not getting enough blood. What may have happened to Sen. Fetterman, was an atrial fibrillation he may have had, that caused an infarct in the heart or an occlusion of blood in the heart, which then raveled up to the brain and therefore caused what we call some sort of a receptive and expressive aphasia. In other words, a sort of a brain damage where the person has difficulties, processing and producing speech.

The GOOD NEWS is, there is treatment!! Speech and language therapy, physical and occupational therapy, as well as counseling, mental health support and, of course for his depression, psychotherapy as well as medications are very helpful.

Lastly, Some of that criticism on social media, is just uncalled for, and does nothing to relieve the stigma. I am really disheartened to see how many of the political trolls are looking into every misstep Senator Fetterman takes. This is absolutely the wrong message to be sending. We need to be if nothing else promoting individuals who come back from something like this and really praising them.
