Safety and Dignity: The Foundation of Mental Health
Rating
Description
We discuss how safety and dignity directly influence psychological health, exploring the connection between social systems and mental wellbeing. We examine how chronic exposure to discrimination, economic instability, unsafe environments, and lack of healthcare access correlate with increased risks of PTSD, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorders. We explain how compromised safety keeps the amygdala hyperactive, leading to hypervigilance, emotional shutdowns, and chronic stress. We emphasize that mental health requires both personal accountability and community responsibility, and that safe systems are essential for reducing collective trauma.
