Document Summary
Summary: todays topic of class was mental health and psychological well-being. The class began with a video about depression. This video gives a brief overview of depression and discusses some important information regarding the illness. Nished, the class had a discussion about it while taking some notes from the board. After this, the class took turns discussing the articles that were due for class. Once this was done, we talked about the factors that contributed to depression. The class concluded with everyone turing in their writing assignments that were due. New learning: the rst thing that i learned today is the stigma of mental illness in athletes. As an athlete in high school, i could personally say that i most likely would not be comfortable with telling my coaches that i have a mental illness. From an athletes perspective, an illness is seen as a weakness and seeking help to cure this illness makes them appear weak.
