This HAS To Change... #shorts #disabled #disabilityawareness

Activism

Not all disabilities are visible! It's international disability awareness day. People with disabilities deserve to be heard, and their struggles legitimised. I want to focus on invisible disabilities awareness on this Disability Day. ▶️ Watch all my YouTube Shorts here! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUToDn8pszJBlI9inJeq1AyJzzoq4BKER ▶️ My video on the invisible disability Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0LbUpsz4Lw&list=PLUToDn8pszJBYBkVTei0VtF1A_mdk4AMt&index=2 ▶️ My First Week as a DOCTOR Fresh out of Medical School - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pBmfMWSPvk&list=PLUToDn8pszJCtdpkD0xapQadiLzExgYH7 ▶️ Doctor Reacts to ARCANE and other TV shows - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnkZv0_aSJ8&list=PLUToDn8pszJAAW3f7HafYOZQd09rhBOMl ▶️ More interesting medical videos here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrAXg20qBo8&list=PLUToDn8pszJCXLYnlJ74fY_7TTglvsBKE According to the WHO, 1 billion people live with some form of disability and they're disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Almost everyone is likely to experience temporary or permanent disability at some point in life. When accessing health care, they often experience stigma, discrimination, and poor quality services. That is totally unacceptable. People with invisible disabilities are often not believed by their doctors, loved ones and colleagues. It can take years for a proper diagnosis. I've made a YouTube video on Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) - link in bio. It's commonly misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression. More awareness vids on the way. There are many other invisible disabilities including (but not limited to): chronic fatigue syndrome / myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), dysautonomia, diabetes, lupus, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis, traumatic brain injury, HIV/AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD - Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), endometriosis, mental health diagnoses (including anxiety and depression), learning disabilities (including autism and ADHD), and many more... It's down to all of us to fight for the system to change. Follow and subscribe to my YouTube channel for more educational vids.
