Menhera
is a Japanese slang term used to describe a person, typically a woman, with a mental health disorder. The term may refer to fictional characters who exhibit traits of mental illness or to participants in mental health-inspired fashion subculture. Etymology ''Menhera'' translates to ''mental healther'' and originally referred to users of ''mentaru herusu ban'', a 2channel discussion board about mental health. The term ''mentaru herusu'', meaning mental health, was abbreviated by discussion board members to ''menheru'', and users became known as ''menhera''. History The term ''menhera'' began to spread past the ''mentaru herusu ban'' 2channel board in the early 2000s, where it began to connote any person with a mental health condition. Later in the decade, the term grew more closely associated with women, especially those who demonstrated traits of borderline personality disorder. ''Menhera'' was further popularized by Ezaki Bisko, who in 2013 created a ''Menhera-chan'' cha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Suicide And The Internet
Suicide and the Internet have increasingly important relationships as Internet use becomes more ubiquitous. Several Internet suicides have occurred, and issues involving social media and suicide have gained some attention. A survey has found that suicide-risk individuals who went online for suicide-related purposes, compared with online users who did not, reported greater suicide-risk symptoms, were less likely to seek help and perceived less social support. Jurisdictional hindrances have sometimes prevented governments from effectively restricting pro-suicide sites and sites that describe suicide methods. An Israeli site, SAHAR, sought to prevent suicide by providing supportive conversations and referrals to help resources. In 2008, police in the United Kingdom expressed concern that "Internet cults" and the desire for achieving prestige via online memorials may encourage suicides. Although there are concerns that the Internet may be a dangerous platform, where suicidal people ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fiction About Mental Disorders
Fiction is any creative work, chiefly any narrative work, portraying individuals, events, or places that are imaginary, or in ways that are imaginary. Fictional portrayals are thus inconsistent with history, fact, or plausibility. In a traditional narrow sense, "fiction" refers to written narratives in prose often referring specifically to novels, novellas, and short stories. More broadly, however, fiction encompasses imaginary narratives expressed in any medium, including not just writings but also live theatrical performances, films, television programs, radio dramas, comics, role-playing games, and video games. Definition Typically, the fictionality of a work is publicly marketed and so the audience expects the work to deviate in some ways from the real world rather than presenting, for instance, only factually accurate portrayals or characters who are actual people. Because fiction is generally understood to not fully adhere to the real world, the themes a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
