6 thoughts on “Unit 2 Evolving Ideas Elevator Pitch: Mental Health Awareness

  1. Seeing the evolution of mental illness and how it’s perceived sounds really interesting. I know it has changed drastically throughout history and I don’t know how far back you’ll go but comparing trepanning to therapy today seems almost comical. A topic you could discuss is men’s mental health v.s. women’s in terms of how society views them as this has been a recent topic of debate.

  2. I think this will be a really good talk and paper. As someone who has anxiety, therapy and medication is so important to me. I think you’ll be able to find very good resources for this. I like that you are including the practice of getting lobotomies, I remember hearing about them on TikTok and I was literally shocked. I think one subtopic you could explore is the idea of men and mental health, and how there’s a severe disconnection between the two.

  3. I am interested in hearing more about this topic. I think learning more about mental health awareness is important because it allows us as a society to support our friends and family who may be struggling. There is definitely a bunch of different resources available on this topic, including many contemporary civic artifacts. A subtopic you could explore is how different Universities support students struggling with their mental health, as well as the resources they provide.

  4. Talking about mental health is so important, now that humanity has become more aware of it, I am glad it is being taken more seriously. I think there are numerous resources that can help your topic. A subtopic I think would be cool to explore would be mental health in children, and how that is shown.

  5. 1.) I know the interest in mental health has skyrocketed in recent years and new resources and research has become more frequent.
    2.) When researching this topic you analyze the abundance of dedicated into the mental health field, such as employment, money, or other faculties.
    3.) a sub-topic you could discuss could be mental health in different group such as men and women as this is a heavily debated topic.
    4.) This topic has the potential to correlate to both technical and ideologic themes due to the public concern for mental health and the new resources available for it.
