What You Eat May Improve Your Mental Health
Some people may wonder if what they eat affects their mental health. The answer is yes – the foods we eat can positively or negatively impact our mental health. It is easy to forget food can be eaten for enjoyment rather than just weight loss. We often forget to include food for mental health.
Most Women Suffering from Postpartum Depression Do Not Receive Adequate Care
Significant life changes can cause increased mental health struggles. Switching jobs, moving across the country, the death of a loved one or ending a long-term relationship are all changes that can prompt periods of depression. Childbirth, a tremendous change in the life of a mother, is no exception.
Which Antidepressants Cause the Fewest Sexual Side Effects?
Antidepressants are typically an effective way for depression to ameliorate. However, while they can help someone return to a sense of normalcy, antidepressants can interfere with one’s ability to perform intimately. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop taking antidepressants or that there aren’t options. Instead, there’s still a good chance of balancing antidepressants with your sex life.

Suicide is a subject that puzzles many of us, motivates researchers and directs the development of many medical strategies and treatments. The motives behind such behavior are not usually visible, or they might even seem incomprehensible to those left behind. Suicide rates vary according to age and gender: women attempt suicide three times more than men, yet men end their lives three times more than women.
Psychedelics Are Edging towards Mainstream Therapy
Psychedelics have long been associated with hippies, nightclubs and the 60s.

This process, while slow, indicates that psychedelics are edging into more mainstream modes of psychiatric and clinical therapy.
Pets Can Improve Your Mental Health
Pets are an integral part of our lives. The joy they bring to everyday activities is infectious. With almost 40% of U.S. households having dogs and just over 25% owning cats, this feeling of joy is experienced by about 70 million households across the country.
But if you had to put your finger on how exactly pets improve our lives, what would you say?
Exercise & Mental Health
Exercising is not just for keeping yourself physically fit. It can keep you mentally healthy as well.

The Benefits of Meditation on the Brain
Despite the troubling results of this study, meditation, a set of practices centered around enhancing awareness and sharpening focus (and which often involves spending time alone with no exterior stimulation), is being hailed as a technique to mitigate stress and increase mindfulness.
What Is Mental Health and Why Is It Important?
Mental health issues are one of the most significant issues in America.

Unfortunately, many mental illnesses cannot be prevented, but there are early warning signs and ways to help their mental health.
How Your Heart Impacts Your Mental Health
