The Other Diversity: Neurodiversity

11.18.2020 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Ok, this is creepy. I’ve been reading and thinking about this topic for more than three years. I’ve amassed a collection of more than 100 articles, books, videos and other resources about it. I even started drafting a blog post about it so long ago I wasn’t even sure I’d saved it. For some reason […]

Update on me. Or why adulting with mental illness is hard as hell

First of all, hi. Hope your summer was good. I’ll be honest–mine was hard. I’ve been ruminating over how much to share here for a few months…which is basically why I’ve stopped blogging, I guess. I’ve written about mental health stigma before, and about how much better teens and young adults are at talking openly […]

Mental health stigma goes double for older people–and why we need to fix that

Remember that time last summer that I declared that I was done blogging about social media and was pivoting to writing about mental health?

Mental Health Stigma When You're Not a Celebrity or a Teen

Mental health has had a banner few weeks in the news and across the internet–at least when the news centers around celebrities or teens. Sinead O’Connor and Justin Bieber made headlines about their battles with depression and mental illness and Diply applauded a list of celebrities who have shared their struggles with mental illness.

At Least We Can Laugh About Depression

I was surprised and humbled by the number of people I heard from after my last post.

New Direction for Mizz Information–Bye Social Media; Hello Mental Health Stigma

08.01.2017 by Maggie McGary // 14 Comments

While it would be super tidy to announce that, on the 10th anniversary of starting Mizz Information–a blog mostly about social media, community management, associations and off-topic rants–I’ve decided to switch it up and write about something entirely different.

    So last Friday was World Health Day, the theme of which this year was depression and a “let’s talk” campaign geared at encouraging people to seek and get help for depression.
