And now we see just how terrible this show is handling the mental health storyline. Episode after episode Maya was abandoned and talked about and allowed to be bullied and lose her job to misogyny. The same repetitive comments were made by everyone, Maya is so difficult and impossible. Just ignore her or yell at her.
Now that she has hit rock bottom. Let's have her sit in an apartment by herself because everyone has truly abandoned her. So I guess the message is be careful because if your mental health makes you too broken or damaged or difficult, everyone will leave you. If you can "fix" yourself by yourself and beg, maybe they will take you back ... maybe. But remember it was so easy for them to leave you, so if you get too broken or damaged or difficult again, they will leave you again. That is just so toxic and does nothing to destigmatize mental health.
Now I'm just waiting for them to continue the toxic misogyny and mental health nightmare by making Maya give up her career goals cause clearly women can't have a career and family and even less severe mental health issues like Maya's responses to childhood trauma should of course preclude her from having ambitions and going for promotions.
This is just toxic. Shame on you Station 19 writers.
