Have you ever wondered about the connection between your digestive system and your mental well-being? Today, on the occasion of #WorldDigestiveHealthDay
let's dive into the fascinating correlation between these two important aspects of our health. #DigestiveSystem #MentalHealth Image
Our digestive system, often referred to as our "second brain," plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. It not only breaks down food but also houses trillions of bacteria that form our gut microbiome & have a profound impact on our physical and mental health. #GutHealth
The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication system between the gut & the brain. When our digestive system is compromised, signals are sent to the brain, triggering emotional and psychological responses that can manifest as anxiety, depression, or mood swings.

I am sympathetic to #medical professionals as well as to #MentalHealth providers, however, IF you have uttered ☝🏼 of following statements or engaged in ☝🏼 of following behaviors you may want to reassess your #profession:

- ‘I am sorry you are to complex, complicated, we 1
can’t help you’
-‘You don’t want help bc you did not do x, y, or z’
-If you are unable to truly #Listen
-If you are unwilling to continually assess if you are negatively impacting situation
-If you use manipulation
-If you feel person & or family should not have #voice in 2
planning - it should be central.
-If you are unable to discuss difficult topics/concern w person & or family.
-If you make assumptions
-If you are unwilling to collaborate with others that support/provide care to person/family
-If you say ☝🏼 thing to person & or family & 3

🚨 Stop giving smartphones to your kids! 🚨

A friend shared Sapien Labs' report that highlights a deeply concerning correlation between early access to smartphones (& tablets) to young children and the increased likelihood of suffering from mental disorders as adults. (1/5) Image
The numbers are truly shocking:

(a) ~60-70% of women who were exposed to smartphones before the age of 10 experience mental health issues as adults

(b) ~45-50% of men who got exposed to smartphones before the age of 10 also face similar challenges later in life. (2/5)
I urge parents to resist the temptation of handing over a phone to kids always - while crying, or eating food etc.

Instead, encourage real-world interactions, outdoor activities & hobbies.

As parents, we have a responsibility to protect our children's mental health. (3/5)

Many click-friendly posts for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, saying 'seek help', 'open up' etc.

Well, here's something to be 'aware' of

Recent research by @Rethink_ suggests 3 in 5 people with mental health problems don't seek help... due to stigma

rethink.org/news-and-stori…

/1
@Rethink_ It's a drum I've banged often, but it's still pertinent

Mental health 'awareness' is an important first step, but it's not an end point. And for too many, being aware of/acknowledging mental health issues is taken to mean the problem's dealt with

theguardian.com/science/brain-…

@Rethink_ But this is wrong, in so many ways

Being part of an online community where everyone is open and honest about their #MentalHealth is great. Often essential. But that doesn't mean everyone enjoys a similar situation. Indeed, the majority seemingly don't.

1/8 🧠#TraumaAwareness🧠: #Trauma impacts us in complex, multifaceted ways. Advancements in neuroscience tell us it's not just an emotional experience, but a deeply physiological one. Let's talk about why we need to acknowledge this, even within religious contexts. #evangelicals
2/8 Understanding #trauma means understanding the brain. Neuroplasticity shows our experiences, including trauma, literally reshape our brains. It's not 'all in your head,' it's 'also in your brain.' This isn't a matter of faith or opinion, it's established science. #evangelicals
3/8 Dismissing the physiological reality of #trauma undermines the survivor's experience. It can lead to victim blaming, encouraging sufferers to 'pray it away', 'have more faith', 'self control'. This not only fails to address the problem but can compound the pain. #evangelicals

Ja, es gibt schon wieder eine neue Studie, die sagt, dass junge Menschen psychisch besonders belastet sind. #mentalhealth
In einem Beteiligungsworkshop für die #Jugendpolitiktage habe ich mit Jugendlichen (16-27 Jahre) zu diesem Thema gearbeitet. Und das ist mir aufgefallen (1):
Die junge Generation hat das Gefühl, dass sie Probleme lösen muss, die sie selbst nicht verschuldet hat: Klimakrise, Krieg, Inflation. Dass Erwachsene sich aus der Verantwortung ziehen, sich auf ihrer Macht (#Wahlalter16) ausruhen. Das erzeugt Hilflosigkeit - und Depression. (2)
Hilfsangebote für #mentalhealth gibt es entweder nicht flächendeckend (ländlicher Raum!) oder die Info darüber kommt nicht bei den Betroffenen an. Teilnehmer*innen schildern, dass sie seit Monaten auf der Suche nach Therapieplätzen sind. Und langsam daran verzweifeln. (3)

During the #Welsh #covid briefings @Eluned_Morgan talked about #mentalhealth

I remember her saying to reach out to others if you were struggling

A few months later I emailed her, asking for help with #VaccineInjuries

She didn’t care
@Eluned_Morgan had someone to reply on her behalf

The reply

You had the information prior to the #CovidVaccines , so patients can make an informed decision

#CanWeTalkAboutIt Image
With a link to the current side effects for @ASTRAZENECAUK Product

I call it a product, the same as my Neurologist called it a PRODUCT in my clinic letter Feb ‘22

Look at the link

Then LOOK at the LEAFLETS I’d received 2/3/21 & 18/5/21

@WelshGovernment @SeneddWales @vaughangething @PrifWeinidog @Eluned_Morgan

When are you going to start looking into this

You have had plenty of time now

Why have groups like @ukcvfamily & @VIBUK1 have to campaign to get us heard ?
Ive had email correspondence with my MP, who informs me that healthcare is the responsibility of @WelshGovernment , also Welsh Gov are responsible for the rollout of the #covidvaccines in #WALES

MP writes to Térèse Coffery & despite reminding her, there’s no reply
MP goes on to write, he hopes that I get a better response from @WelshGovernment

Yeah right!!!

I raised I’d had health problems after @ASTRAZENECAUK by email to Eluned Morgan April 2022

She didn’t want to know…
