Scenario

When immigration trauma is dismissed as mental health paranoia

I have anxiety about being deported even though I am documented and my therapist keeps saying my fears are irrational

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Realistic survival fears are being pathologized rather than recognized as rational responses to structural vulnerability.
