FACILITATED BY: Natalia, Will, Tai, Rita

During this lecture I learned a bit more about the history of mental health and different types of treatments for mental health disorders. The history of mental health treatments are very surgery based while today’s treatments are more human ways - medication, therapy, management tools, etc. Smartphones contribute to adolescents relationship with mental health due to how long they spend on their devices. Methods to contribute to improved mental health include eating good food, drinking enough water, sleeping on a regular schedule, and having a close social circle to stay connected with.
