Overview of mental health

This is my podcast script

I decided to use a script due to the fact of if i speak from my heart i may stutter or not make sense as i can't think about what to say when doing work. So this is why i decided to do a script and follow my text in a line which makes sense and doesn't cause me to stutter and not make sense. This allowed me plan my text out and allows me to think about what i want to say and allows me to say what i want too.

Hi everyone my name is Dillon Kara and this is a podcast about mental health. In these podcasts I will be talking about how mental health affects people and how they can help people. One in 4 people suffer from mental health in their lifetime. This may be from one mental health issue to many. But people need to understand when this is happening. People need to be more helpful and help people who are suffering. Some people don’t want to tell people they are suffering but people should be able to tell if someone is suffering. One way is if someone looks down when they by themselves and always upset but when they are with friends they are always happy and smiling. If you see someone suffering don’t let them suffer alone or it will hurt them more as they keep everything bubbled up. People need to show they care and not just walk past and not care at all. We are all humans and we deserve life but people who suffer from mental health feel like they are unwanted and they are scared to tell people. People who look down when they are by themselves but when with others they are happy and always smiling they may be suffering on the inside. They may be scared to say it to people because they might get judged or get left alone. This would make them feel more alone as people nowadays don’t like helping they just find certain things funny and they laugh about it. But mental health is a serious issue which isn’t shown as it is important. Media coverage on mental health has gone nowhere. I personally have not seen many articles about mental health. The media only want to cover topics which are easier to cover as they only want to represent issues which are easier to cover and issues which will give them less fight backs. This may be the reason why they don’t want to publish any articles about mental health.  

Thank you for listening to my first episode.

Tune in at 8pm on the 31^st may to listen to episode 2

Second recording

Welcome to my part 2 of my podcast about mental health. This episode I will be taking about how people keep issues bubbled in and how they shouldn’t do that. Keeping issues bubbled in and not telling anyone about it will make you hurt more. These are the reasons why, keeping issues bubbled in will cause you not to trust anyone. This may be because of past issues when you have told someone but they told everyone else. But this is why you need someone close to you when you are going through any issues in life so you can open up to them. This may be hard for some and easy for others. But it’s something which is needed to be done. Keeping issues bubbled up may cause you to break down one day and when you break down you will be hurt more. This is the key of getting through mental health. Talk to people about it and inform people about mental health. People should also understand that if you have got this far suffering and still being strong become stronger and talk to people about it causing you to get stronger and everyone else who is suffering from mental health to get stronger. There are also medical reasons why you really shouldn’t keep things bubbled up. These can be such as migraines, panic attacks and stress. These can vary on the situations faced by the person. But time is of the essence of telling people not keeping away from people. Issues like these can cause serious damage which no one would like you to be seen in. I create these podcasts to inform the public and how they can help people. I want everyone listening to this to go and help someone suffering from mental health and give them the reassurance that you are there for them. How to tell if someone is suffering from mental health, as said in my first episode if people seem to be happy when they are in a group or with their friends but then upset when they are by themselves. Thank you for listening to my second episode of my podcast about mental health.

Tune in at 8pm on the 7^th June to listen to episode 3.

Media Exhibition Invitation and Poster Design

Exhibition statement

Course: UAL Level 3 Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology, pathway: Multimedia LVL 3 YR 1

Progression route for next year – YR 2

The concept for my project is to tell people that mental health is really serious and I want more people to be informed by it. I also want more people to be informed about how mental health and how to help people which are going through mental health issues. I will research into statistics on mental health and even statistics on how podcasts have improved and how they have become more widely used in the world. I have had a few ideas which were making a series/sequel on my podcasts about mental health. I want to add political influences into my work which would make people want to listen to it and see what they say about it. My target audience for my FMP is 15-22 year olds as the younger generation suffer from mental health and how speaking up can help them.
