On Being Lucky. Content Warning.
He was killed in front of me but the waiting at the hospital was the worst. Maybe it’s me but it all feels like lifetimes ago. I always thought that we would make it, I guess not. Being the only one to get out hurts. He was the first person I knew to die from gun violence. He wasn’t the last either. It changes you. Losing someone always does but it changes you more when it comes from such violence. At his funeral I think I died a little bit inside. He always knew what to do. I never knew what to do. I still do not know what to do. One day he was gone and I never really moved on.

Decoding Psychopathy and Sociopathy: Unraveling the Intricacies of Distinct Personality Disorders
Upon the conclusion of our favorite murder documentary, my friends and I found ourselves seated on the couch, absorbing the events that had transpired. It was then that one friend spontaneously exclaimed that the individual in question was unmistakably a psychopath. In response, another friend proposed that he might be a sociopath instead. The ensuing debate between the two persisted for a while until they turned to me, expecting me to settle the matter. As a result of my training in psychiatric conditions during medical school, I was deemed the bona fide expert in our group. Admittedly, I had heard people use the terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" interchangeably, but I had never taken the time to ponder upon the nuances that differentiate them. Perhaps you, too, find yourself intrigued by the distinction between a psychopath and a sociopath.

Mental Health Issues
Having the best mental health for oneself is a great way to start a day and live a healthy and happy lifestyle. It is how people are able to interact with one another. The mental state that a person is in shows how they can manage stress. "Mental health disorders are characterized by issues regarding mood, thoughts, and behavior. They may also be referred to as psychological disorders, mental illnesses, and mental health conditions" (Smith, 2022). Another way of characterizing what mental health is through WHO's definition of what it is. According to WHO - “Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community" (Felman and Tee-Melegrito, 2022).
