But experts say digesting too much trauma-related news is linked to a host of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress symptoms. You might be exposing yourself to such news without even realizing it, just by using social media every day. ”[S]ome may log onto social media apps with intentions other than to get news updates but may inadvertently get exposed to news posts from connections,” Jacqueline Sperling, a clinical psychologist and faculty member at Harvard Medical School, tells CNBC Make It. So, how can you effectively manage your mental health while still staying informed? Here are four tips from top experts: Read summaries that don’t involve pictures or videos Audio and video can be very visceral: Seeing or hearing someone else suffering can take a toll on your own psyche. Sperling says news summaries without any pictures or

#MentalHealth #Depression #Anxiety #SocialMedia Even Facebook agrees that social media can be  bad for your mental health . And research by the Department of Education has found that the mental well-being of teenage girls in the UK  is worsening , with the impact of social media cited as the cause. Yet  my research  reveals that more people are turning to these platforms for help with their mental health issues. This has been exacerbated as the crisis in the NHS sees  waiting times for appointments  grow. While most of the people I spoke to believed social media helped them, there is a concern that it could be adding to ongoing mental health problems. Mental health has recently become the focus of attention within UK policy, with the proposed  rehash of the Mental Health Act , and the new  Power Threat Meaning framework , which aims to reduce the “medicalization” of mental health. Despite raised awareness of some the issues, more and more people are  turning away from their GP

    Angus Grieg #JamilZaki #Connection #Empathy #Human #Psychology #Psychotherapy #MentalHealth #BlackTherapist #Triple5LightTherapy Empathy — or understanding the thoughts and feelings of the people around us — is one of the most important and most trying parts of being a social creature.   But what exactly is empathy? And crucially, can we have more? Stanford psychology professor  Jamil Zaki PhD , director of the Social Neuroscience Laboratory there, studies these very questions. In a TEDxMarin talk, he says that human empathy is actually a skill that can be developed rather than a fixed trait. “Empathy is a simple word for a complex idea,” he explains. “Research psychologists understand empathy as an umbrella terms for multiple ways that we respond to other people’s emotions.” Why is empathy so important?  Some of the reasons are more obvious: “It inspires us to help family members, friends, and strangers,” says Dr. Zaki. “It helps us see past differences and allows us to see others

  #Health #Inusrance #MentalHealth By  ASSOCIATED PRESS ,  ADAM BEAM SEP. 25, 2020 12:35 PM SACRAMENTO —    Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law on Friday that for the first time in California defines the term “medical necessity” in a move aimed at requiring private health insurance plans to pay for more mental health and drug addiction treatments. State and federal laws already require health insurance companies to handle mental health treatments the same as physical health treatments. The California Health Benefits Review Program says 99.8% of people enrolled in private health insurance plans have coverage for mental health and substance abuse disorders on par with other medical conditions. But those laws don’t define what is “medically necessary” to determine which treatments get covered. Because of that, advocates say private insurers often deny coverage for some mental health and drug abuse treatments based on their own restrictive definitions. The law requires all private insurers to

As no one’s been able to pin down a single cause of psychosis, it’s been even harder to pin down a treatment. But researchers behind a new JAMA Psychiatry study seem to be on the right track. In the study, they report that they’ve found a way to reset the psychosis-afflicted brain using an unlikely plant: marijuana. Researchers are increasingly finding evidence that the  active components  of marijuana can help ease symptoms in people with  epileptic seizures ,  chronic pain , and  post-traumatic stress disorder , but there’s much to be learned about its relationship to psychosis.

According to the American Institute of Stress, 73% of Americans regularly experience psychological symptoms caused by stress. The definition of stress is hard to pin down, but most people associate stress with the negative thoughts and feelings it causes which can result in anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, anger, and difficulty regulating emotions. What’s worse is that chronic stress can lead to serious chronic auto-immune diseases, hormonal imbalances, and weight gain. And what a cruel cycle this causes, as worry over health is the #3 largest stressor among Americans, after J
