U.S. Psychoanalysts: We’re Sorry We Once Said Homosexuality Was a Mental Illness

How Biases About Mental Illness Keep People From Seeking Help
We’ve all seen the memes and social media posts. While variations exist, they’re basically the same idea: First, a picture of a forest, a field, or a garden with text that reads, “This is an antidepressant.” Below will be a photo of some pile of anonymous, colorful pills, with text saying, “This is shit.” The point these memes are trying to make, of course, is that going outdoors and enjoying fresh air is a “natural” antidepressant, whereas taking a pill—a chemical, a drug—pollutes your brain and body.
