Memes are little jokes or funny pictures that people share online. Some of these memes talk about serious things like traumas (difficult experiences).
When we see a meme that relates to our own experiences, it can make us feel less alone. So, relatable humor in memes can reduce loneliness.
But the tricky part is Can these memes actually heal us like medicine does?
Well, people are discussing it and haven’t decided for sure. Years back, people didn’t talk much about mental breakdowns (when someone feels overwhelmed and can’t cope).
It was kind of a meant-to-be-secret topic because people thought it was embarrassing or wrong. But things have changed.
Nowadays, we talk about our mental health openly. You’ll also find discussions about depression not only on medical websites but also on social media platforms like Instagram or Twitter.

- Mental health memes have become super popular. More and more people relate to them.
