AMA Code of Medical Ethics: Guidance in a pandemic

App Review

Understanding the pain associated with mental illness

When I see homeless people asking for change, I am challenged as a person to resolve the humanity of their situations. No one grows up thinking that they will be on the streets begging for money. Many people who are homeless have mental illnesses, addiction issues, are victims of abuse or other problems. These conditions are not reserved for the homeless, they occur throughout all socioeconomic statuses.

People who are not effected by mental illness, may be unaware of the physical pain that can be associated disorders. The brain is the most complicated part of our bodies and when it is dis-functional, it can cause real physical and chronic pain- just like a broken bone causes pain. Mental illnesses like anxiety, depression or phobias, can cause a person to self medicate with tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs. This self medication may seem to work initially or temporarily, but it inevitably leads to addiction and further damage to the system. No one wants to grow up to become an alcoholic or drug addict.

Society needs to destigmatize mental illness so that people can get help without the shame associated with addiction or mental illness. For some people, the damage to their bodies, their minds, are more than they can manage. Suicide seems like their only solution to ending the pain and suffering that they endure. Often the saddest thing about the situation is that the people around them who love them, are unaware of their despair and unexperienced in how to help them.

I encourage you to consider how you can support people with mental illness to get medical help for their problems. Please support organizations who work with people with addiction to help to rebuild their lives. Support suicide awareness programs and support families who have experienced loss. Most of all, treat yourself, your family, friends, coworkers with love and compassion and accept people for who they are with all their flaws. Most people are living the best life they know how each day.
