“We wanted to create this quiz, not in a format of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ questions, but in a way that we put forth facts and histories of mental health. For instance, take the word ‘hysteria’. The word dates back to ancient Greece, and was used in connection with the movement of a woman’s uterus. To this day, the word is often used in bad taste. Through these facts, we are trying to share these histories with participants,” adds Walia. The idea is to de-stigmatise concepts, and present complex mental-health concepts in a way that’s comprehensive. It’s supposed to be a mixture of fun facts and pop-culture references, so that the ideas are accessible to all those who choose to attend. 

In addition to this, funds raised from the quiz will flow into OFC’s COVID-19 Mental Health Project, which hopes to facilitate training and conduct research in the field during and post-pandemic.
