@black_intellect@mstdn.social Michael Jackson wrote about #care and loved ones:
"One of the most difficult aspects of caregiving, often made worse by the economic challenges, is its emotional toll. I remember the often paralyzing sense of powerlessness and frustration, and even anger as my mom’s MS and my late wife’s cancer rendered them increasingly dependent on me. Financial pressures exacerbate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health effects that are common among family members who care for relatives or friends. Recent estimates are that between 40 to 70% of caregivers have clinically significant symptoms of depression."

On July 14, 1970, a group of activists, many of them in their late teens and early 20s, occupied Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx. They barricaded themselves inside the facility, demanding safer and more accessible health care for the community.
The dramatic takeover of Lincoln Hospital led to one of the first Patient’s Bill of Rights, changing patients’ relationship with hospitals and doctors nationwide.
