This loss hits close to home for many, as seen in the comments. Many of us struggle with different mental health issues. We truly need to re-evaluate how we address mental health and our commitment to provide better services for those in need as well as reducing the stigmatization around mental illness as a whole. With so much background noise about so many things framed with negative connotations and the exponential pace at which it is increasing I fear we will see more and more loss related to mental illness. In my opinion we need to focus on how to re-ground ourselves in many ways, a lot of this may be attributed in part to the loss, both perceived and/or real, of social norms and the increasing disruption and distortion of good factual source material and how we access this information. With all the touted benefits of AI/ML it feels geared to economic gains rather than positive use cases for assisting us in life rather than the repetitious narrative of "replacing" us. My thoughts go out to her family and friends, and all those effected by this news. It's also easy to lose sight of the fact that many of us who are not visible in the mainstream deal with this on a daily basis with very little support, even with access to to "quality" care there has been a percievable declination in that metric of quality. A high proportion of intelligent people are prone to mental illness, or rather what socially and medically frame and define mental illnes as. For those with little to no access, or for example forced onto "care platforms" due to lack of resources the effects can be much worse. Best wishes to you all, if you are struggling reach out in any way you can, you matter, we all do. |
