As already mentioned social media has become one of the highest influences when it comes to the stigma against mental health. Recently it was Bell Lets Talk Day and social media gets flowed with the campaign posters and people sharing their own personal stories of mental health whether it be anxiety or depression and suicide. It became a trending Hashtag and helps so many people either to talk aloud about their problems maybe for the first time, or for some people to understand that they are not fighting a battle alone and that there are millions of people that are out there willing to help and support them that have or are going through the same thing.

This is something that unfortunately i believe will take a long time to change. There are still so many people out there that don't believe that mental health is a real issue; people believe that it is just a person looking for attention or that it is all in their head. Mental health comes in many different forms and just like many other "medical" illnesses, mental health can lead to death. So why is it still not getting thee recognition from the government and health care system that it deserves. In my opinion mental health is not recognized as it should be simply because in most cases it is not something that can be seen and measured my health care professionals, therefore it doesn't exist.

Spreading awareness of mental health is the only way to be able to fight back against the stigma. It is through social media campaigns and celebrities openly talking about what they struggle with that is providing an understanding that mental health issues affects everyone and that it is only by education and working together that we will really be able to help individuals with mental illness and be able to break the stigmas.

A persons internal clock can be affected by a lot of things, and it is also something that will work itself out. For instance our internal clocks change when we go on vacation depending on where we are going, so saying that we should get rid of day light savings because it affects our internal clock is like saying that no one is allowed to go on vacation because it affects our internal clock. Our internal clock given time will get back into a normal routine given a day or two, that being said does it really affect a person health that much? I believe this article looked at what day light savings can affect but not necessarily the affect itself and the "slight" changes that it could make.

With the arrival of day light savings time, yes individuals are getting less sleep however, i believe this has more to do with lifestyle then the time change itself. As stated in the article individuals are already getting less sleep then recommended, so does day lights saving really affect them that much? Furthermore, this article discusses the implications of less sleep on citizens of the United States, which is only a small portion of the countries that still have the time change, as well as a country that is commonly known to be a country that "never sleeps". In this case I don't believe that there is enough evidence to show that day light savings has a negative impact on sleep.

I find these statements to be vary generalized. As the article states that blood clots tend to be more in the morning which means that it could happen any time not just specifically when it comes to day light savings. It then does on to explain that increased risk is associated mainly with people who already have existing heart disease, so once again they are generalizing and basically saying that this is the case for everyone. So is it enough to change this over 100 year old "tradition" of day light savings for the health benefits of people that already have heart conditions?
