The author talks about how recognizing mental illness in young people and knowing how to deal or ask for help can help prevent the risk for suicide. Alvidrez, J. & Snowden, L. R. & Kaiser, D. M. "The Experience of Stigma among Black Mental Health Consumers." Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, vol. 19 no. 3, 2008, pp. 874-893. Project MUSE. Accessed. 8 May 2017. Jennifer Alvidrez writes about how stigma is more apparent towards African American people with a mental illness and also how stigma can drive people away from seeking professional help. Also, African Americans have a lot more barriers in front of them to see mental health help than white people do. Alvidrez provides real life stories about how African Americans are dealing and living with the stigma. The source gives plenty of real life accounts and statistics to support the mental illness stigma argument. Appelbaum, Paul S. “Public Safety, Mental Disorders, and Guns.” JAMA Psychiatry. American Medical Association, 01 June 2013. Web. 8 May 2017.There has been adequate research done supporting the claim that there is no link between mental disorders and gun violence, yet the misbelief continues to perpetually radiate throughout media. The majority of those with mental illnesses do not engage in violence, much less involve a firearm. Police will have to be rewritten to decrease the access of firearms to individuals who are violent, not all that are mentally ill to some degree. Contemplating the reasons behind violence is more than just looking into what happens afterwards, the people behind them, or the events itself. Not enough funding toward this research not only slows it down, but only gives time for the misconception to grow and become accepted, rather than supported, fact.Arboleda-Flórez (4), Julio. "What Has Not Been Effective in Reducing Stigma." Springer. Springer International Publishing, 01 Jan. 1970. Web. 08 May 2017. Arboleda-Florez has studied anti-stigma interventions, and his writes on what things were done to reduce the stigma of mental illness and its effectiveness. The “legacy of negativism” left behind by mental illnesses and the anti-stigma interventions created by those trying to stop the stigma were studied by Arboleda-Florez, and many professionals give input on what can be done to reduce the stigmaBeck, Julie. “Untangling Gun Violence from Mental Illness.” The Atlantic. The Atlantic Monthly Group, 7 Jun 2016. Web. 8 May 2017.Cultural narratives are seen to be more believable than statistics and facts, including one labeling all mass shooters as mentally ill, because only that kind of person can do such a horrendous crime willingly. The news articles that talk about mass shootings have increased, after the increasing popularity of one shooter who not only was mentally ill, but was very popular in the news for every news station to apply this mindset to every mass shooting before looking at the facts. Mental illness has become so linked with gun violence that it has to be addressed before anyone can confirm in any such crime if it was really a contributing factor or not.Benoit, Cecilia, et al. “Occupational Stigma and Mental Health: Discrimination and Depression among Front-Line Service Workers.” Canadian Public Policy / Analyse De Politiques, vol. 41, 2015, pp. S61–S69., stable/43697468.-The author writes about how the stigma of mental illnesses can often lead someone with a mental illness to a poor health. The discrimination they receive affects their illness because they are not receiving the proper care they should be. She also wrote that many people with a mental illness did not feel respected by the doctor. The patients felt that they were being looked down at. Cahn, S. K.

The documentary shows one’s personal experience and doctors perspective. The viewer is able to see where some mental illness roots from and the unexplainable sides of others. This is where negative stigma plays a role in mental illness. If this condition is not explained or responding to treatment it must be in the individual's mind and are able to “get over” whatever is happening. “Don’t Blame Mental Illness for Gun Violence.” Editorial. New York Times, 15 Dec. 2015. Web. 8 May 2017.Gun violence is just more than mentally ill people, as they only make up a small fraction of all gun crimes in the country. Blaming them first only gives people the false perception that all of them are dangerous while in truth it’s the contrary.Fink, Paul Jay, and Allan Tasman. Stigma and Mental Illness. Washington, D.C.: American Psychiatric, 1992. Print. Gilman, Charlotte Perkins. The Yellow Wallpaper. Minneapolis: First Avenue Editions, a Division Of Lerner Group, 2017. Print. The Yellow Wallpaper is a perfect example of how long the stigma of mental illness has existed. The traditional procedures of isolation and mistreatment of serious mental illnesses prove that the stigma of mental illness has existed for a long time, and only now are mental illness being treated seriously.Grinberg, Emanuella. “Gun violence not a mental health issue, experts say, pointing to ‘anger,’ suicides.” CNN, 25 Jan. 2016. Web. 8 May 2017.Predictions for mass shootings are inaccurate as long as the way of identifying who is able to buy firearms remains inaccurate. Evidence of being dangerous, such as past crimes or a DUI, are better predictors than simply a psychiatrist’s word on someone having a mental illness.Rather, the main contributor to having someone be behind a mass shooting is a new degree of anger, which can also be impulsive aggressive behavior, which does not only happen in those that have some degree of a mental illness. Another common factor is suicide, for a majority of shooters also kill themselves following their crimes. Misuse of professional solutions would only be obstructive towards finding a better mental health system, as well as preventing these crimes.Jones, E. & Lebrun-Harris, L. A. & Sripipatana, A. & Ngo-Metzger, Q. "Access to Mental Health Services Among Patients at Health Centers and Factors Associated with Unmet Needs."

Accessed 8 May 2017.-The author writes about how the insurance, doctors other appointments, and other factors affect the treatment of a patient who is checking on a mental illness. Because of the doctors full schedule, they often fail to follow up on their patients with mental illnesses. Patients go with primary doctors because often times they can not afford to go to a psychiatrist but the primary doctors may not be paying close attention with patients that suffer from depression. McSween, Jean. "The Role of Group Interest, Identity, and Stigma in Determining Mental Health Policy Preferences." Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law, vol. 27 no. 5, 2002, pp. 773-800. Project MUSE, muse.jhu.edu/article/15718. Accessed. 8 May 2017. Jean McSween talks about how mental health care does not receive much support from the public. The reason for this being the public’s negative perception of mental illness. McSween explains how the public’s little support of mental health is influencing political policy regarding mental health and illnesses. Her research results show that people who are close to, or know someone who has a mental illness are more for government spending on mental health care and programs. Whereas people who do not know anyone with a mental illness are not for it. Metzl, Jonathan M, and Kenneth T. MacLeish. “Mental Illness, Mass Shootings, and the Politics of American Firearms.” American Journal of Public Health, vol. 105, 2015, pp. 240-249. Web. 8 May 2017. The assumptions that arise after every mass shooting are true in other cases but should not be treated as fact for all of them. It is more complicated than deeming all mentally ill individuals as extremely violent and thus revoke their right to firearms. Gun violence also is linked to race, gender, politics, and age in determining who the perpetrator is and what could have led to his or her actions, as well as how they are treated. The assumption that mental illness causes gun violence only serves as a step to invalidating real mental health examinations, and what could be done towards lowering the gun violence in the country.Moir Fiona “What could We have done for her now?” British Medical Journal, Vol. 337, No 7675 p.935 Moir speaks from a personal perspective of her mother’s experience with depression. Mior claims that depression has affected her family and has gone on for generations but no one has wanted to talk about it. The Mother grew up hearing phrases such as “she was young and not coping”, “lonely”, “too wound up”. Fiona later questions if there has been an effective treatment since her mother’s time to 2008 and claims not, because the response rate is only 47 percent. The author asserts that her mother was never able to receive the treat her mental health condition due to the stigma attached. The grandmother passed down the idea of being able to just deal rather than addressing the actual issue.Mukadam, Naaheed. “Mental Illness: Not a Laughing Matter.” BMJ: British Medical Journal, vol. 338, no. 7701, 2009, pp. 1002–1002., stable/20512729Naprawa, Amanda Z. “Is Mental illness Really Behind Most Gun Violence?” UC Berkeley Wellness. Remedy Health Media, 14 June 2016. Web. 8 May 2017.Fingers were quick to point to mental illness as the perpetrator behind the Newtown shooting, but evidence behind gun violence in general do not add up to this claim. Substance abuse, culture differences, and access to weapons as places to focus on are the solutions, because stats show that more people die from firearms otherwise, even if it were an accident. Access to weapons being a higher priority than safety of families is what causes many of these accidents, as well as mass shooting crimes, take place with no immediate steps toward a safer world.Ostrow, L. & Manderscheid, R. & Mojtabai, R. "Stigma and Difficulty Accessing Medical Care in a Sample of Adults with Serious Mental Illness." Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, vol. 25 no. 4, 2014, pp. 1956-1965.

Acing Depression, edited by Cliff Richey, et al., New Chapter Press, 2010. ProQuest Ebook Central, .“Never Give Up” is one of the chapters in the book Acing Depression. The author states that depression is both an enemy and a monster. Depression can cause us to feel like a burden to other people, leading us to become feeling secluded and finding it difficult to socialize to others. This is a story about Cliff, a tennis player who suffers from mental depression. Cliff battled through hardships and won the senior tennis title in Washington D.C. Cliff took his “never give up” or “never say die” attitude to fight his depression.Smith, Ward Tolbert, et al. “Diagnosing And Treating Depression.” BMJ: British Medical Journal, vol. 320, no. 7249, 2000, pp. 1602–1604., stable/25224787.-The author speaks about a research they conducted in which they concluded that doctors that had done a certain intervention had higher rates of identifying a patient with depression and correctly treating them.
