Reminder:
If you have a family member diagnosed with #mentalillness, it can be scary. But it doesn’t have to be. Remember: A #diagnosis isn't a roadblock. It’s a map.
Finding a good provider & building a support team will help you acquire the tools you need to navigate. – at Manhattan, NY
Reminder as we head into July:
#SSRIs & psychotropic meds can trigger heat exhaustion. Those on certain meds are more vulnerable to heat exhaustion or heat stroke, as heat tolerance is affected by these meds. This includes SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAS, and some antipsychotic medications. – at Manhattan, NY
When it comes to mental health, small, consistent changes can rewire your brain.
First way to rewire your brain: Positive thinking
Sounds corny but regularly writing & thinking positively can stop negative internal chatter & rewire your brain to achieve a more positive mindset.
Suffering is an an unavoidable part of the human experience. Truly accepting suffering & grief as part of life can improve your resilience.
Accepting suffering doesn’t mean approving of it or giving up. It means the pain loses its power over us.

Mental health isn't one-size-fits-all.
Different disorders can share symptoms, and a person might have symptoms but not fit neatly into a DSM category. To help, The National Institute of Mental Health introduced the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) in 2010. 🧠✨
