Instead of dealing…

Located roughly halfway between Stockholm and St. Petersburg, Tallinn’s mix of Nordic and Russian influences offers a glimpse into a proud, unique and resilient country. After World War I, when both Estonia and neighboring Finland gained independence from Sweden and then Russia, Estonians were as wealthy and progressive as Finns, but they were unable to maintain their independence against Soviet expansion during World…

Living with a mental illness such as schizophrenia or depression is difficult, but for many people living with a mental illness, the negative perceptions and behaviors they create towards others and themselves are even worse. “I have schizophrenia, and it’s amazing how people react when they hear the words: they immediately take a step back,” says Charlene Sunkel, founder of the Global Mental Health Peer Network and co-chair of the Lancet Commission to End Stigma and Discrimination in Mental Health. “They’re afraid of you because of a false perception that we’re dangerous, that we can’t think or work – that…
