During this unit I definitely I learnt a lot of new things before this unit I thought mental health was basically about things like OCD and eating disorders where people struggle or cant do something but now i know theres a lot more to it like with eating disorders theres things like anorexia binge eating bulimia anorexia is basically where your not eating food and your losing weight an unhealthy way. Bulimia is where your eating but then feeling guilty and trying to make yourself vomit everything out. and binge eating is where people upload content of them eating lots and lots of food also known as muckbang videos and then when people watch those videos it can convince them to eat very large and unhealthy portions of food which is very bad for you. I also learnt a lot about PTSD which is something that could be caused maybe by something traumatic happening as a child like abusive parents or a car crash or a loss of a loved one and when you have it the body’s natural “fight-or-flight” response gets “stuck” in the on position, causing the person to feel constantly unsafe. In my presentation i did eating disorders and i definitely learnt a lot i learnt that theres a lot of kinds of eating disorders and what they are and i talked about breaking the stigma so how to get help and what to do.
