12 posts | 1 read
This book contains information on what causes Mental illness and other factors about how to maintain a healthier mental health. Millions of Americans live with various types of mental illness and mental health problems. Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions-disorders that affect your mood; thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors. Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. But a mental health concern becomes a mental illness when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function A mental illness can make you miserable and can cause problems in your daily life, such as at work or in relationships. In most cases, symptoms can be managed with a combination of medications and counseling (psychotherapy). Mental illness is any disease or condition that influences the way a person thinks, feel, behaves, and/or relates to others and to his or her surroundings. Although the symptoms of mental illness can range from mild to severe and are different depending on the type of mental illness, a person with an untreated mental illness often is unable to cope with life's daily routines and demands.

#MentalHealthMonday
1. Sleepy 😴
2. Negative. I had to completly overhaul my IG because I was just doom scrolling. I have Rednote for calm videos, Tiktok is a mix of fun and frustrating, IG is bookish nerdy stuff, and FB I only look at for neighborhood updates (HOA/events) bc it's too frustrating.
3 Yes. But honestly its my husband that makes me take them when I get worked up. 🤣

@Kerrbearlib

Kerrbearlib It‘s interesting how some social media platforms can be worse than others for our mental health. LOL my husband has told me to take breaks too 🤣 What kind of videos do you like on Rednote? 1w
InkedBookworm13 @Kerrbearlib I watch videos of other countries cooking, Old Man's Joy videos (tiny cars/trikes), shopping (other countries vs US price/items), Americans life in other countries (mostly China and Germany) and cute animals 1w

1. Tired physically and emotionally
2. I usually journal, go for walks, and do CrossFit. Something new I‘m trying recently is breathwork/meditation.
3. What books people have read on the topic of mental health/psychology, maybe advice people are willing to share that they‘ve gotten from a therapist that was a game-changer.

#mentalhealthmonday @Kerrbearlib

Kerrbearlib Sorry for the late response! I hope you are feeling more rested today. Those are great ways to practice self-care. I've never tried CrossFit but heard good things. I love the idea of sharing books people have read on the topic of mental health and sharing advice from therapists! Thanks for responding! 2mo

I saw this on the Human Rights Campaign on Facebook.

I didn‘t even know July was BIPOC Mental Health Month. Did anyone else?

These came at the perfect moment because I was just trying to figure out how to ask these questions to my therapist regarding racism, oppression and the mental health impact of them.
