The standard treatment for PTSD nearly killed me with its crap “therapy” and poison pills, which landed me in the psych ward for an *iatrogenic* condition–caused by the pills. It’s been 6 years this month and I’m still trying to recover.
An Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) as a common framework could reduce stigma and social rejection.
IPNB emphasizes the interconnectedness of individuals within their social and environmental contexts. By promoting an understanding of how interpersonal experiences shape mental health, IPNB fosters empathy and reduces stigma. People are more likely to recognize that mental health challenges are influenced by a multitude of factors beyond an individual’s control, including their social interactions and environment. This understanding can lead to greater acceptance and support for those experiencing mental health difficulties, reducing stigma and social rejection.
IPNB highlights the importance of nurturing supportive relationships for mental wellbeing. In a society where IPNB is the common framework, there would be greater recognition of the role that social connections play in promoting mental health. This emphasis on relationships could lead to the development of communities that prioritize empathy, compassion, and inclusion, thereby reducing social rejection of individuals with mental health diagnoses.
IPNB considers mental health within a holistic framework that encompasses biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors. By acknowledging the complexity of mental health and the diversity of experiences within the human population, IPNB challenges simplistic and stigmatizing portrayals of mental illness. This broader perspective encourages a more nuanced understanding of mental health issues, reducing the tendency to stigmatize individuals based on diagnostic labels or genetic explanations.
IPNB promotes mental health literacy by educating individuals about the factors that contribute to mental health and wellbeing. In a society where IPNB is widely embraced, there would be greater awareness of the impact of social stigma on individuals with mental health diagnoses. This increased awareness could lead to efforts to challenge stigma through education, advocacy, and the promotion of positive portrayals of mental health in the media and public discourse.
By emphasizing integration, relationships, holistic perspectives, and mental health literacy, IPNB as a common framework could contribute to reducing stigma and social rejection of individuals with mental health diagnoses.
