It's world mental health day and it's important to talk about Joker and what the movie showed me about mental health...

, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, is self worth. The world we live can sometimes be unfair and mean, so we find ourselves losing our self worth and depending on others to give it to us. When left unnoticed for years and having gone through trauma, like in the case of The Joker, we can end up with a very dark and horrifying outcome.

Is it easier to feel worthy when you've been treated kindly and cared for? Of course. Should society be held responsible for creating monsters by not treating humans with basic human decency? Yes. But how much of society can anyone really control? No matter how much we talk about mental health and preach kindness and tell kids not bully at school, how much are we actually going to change?

The truth is we can only try to love ourselves and love our kids fiercely so that when they go out to the world, they will be somewhat grounded and the hits and bumps won't be as hard on them. I'd like to think that if humans are given enough attention, love and care in crucial stages of childhood, the likelihood of being able to brave society and be reminded of self worth would be higher.

I came out of this movie saddened and upset, but extremely hopeful and grateful that people are seeing a different side to humanity. That people are beginning to understand the importance of mental health and that people are looking beyond their opinions and thoughts about others and are beginning to see that there is something else that is very important and it is called empathy. And that the sentenceis the most relevant statement of the decade. So, be kind to each other and go see this movie.
