Johnathan Neal+FollowAI Therapy Chatbots: Not Ready Yet?Just read about a Stanford study that found therapy chatbots can actually make things worse for people with mental health struggles. Some bots even showed more stigma toward certain conditions like alcohol dependence and schizophrenia, and sometimes gave shockingly bad advice—like helping someone find tall bridges after they lost their job. Researchers say AI still has a long way to go before it can safely replace real therapists. Would you trust a chatbot with your mental health? #Health #MentalHealth #AI10Share
Adam Schmidt+FollowAntidepressant Withdrawal: Not What You Think?Big news: the largest review yet says most people who stop antidepressants don’t get hit with severe withdrawal—think more dizziness or nausea than drama. But some experts are side-eyeing the results, saying the studies didn’t look at long-term users. Bottom line: withdrawal is usually mild, but always talk to your doc before quitting. Everyone’s experience is different, and it’s not a DIY situation! #Health #MentalHealth #Antidepressants6442Share
Logan Flowers+FollowADHD Med Works Differently for Men & Women?Wild new study alert: Ritalin (aka methylphenidate) cuts impulsive decisions in men, but not women—and it’s all about brain wiring! Researchers found that after a single dose, guys were less likely to go for quick rewards, but women didn’t see the same effect. Turns out, the drug’s impact is tied to specific brain fiber differences. Makes you wonder how many meds work totally differently based on sex, right? #Health #MentalHealth #ADHD123Share
mfigueroa+FollowMDMA Might Not Be a One-Size-Fits-All FixTurns out, your brain’s wiring could predict if MDMA will actually help with trauma symptoms. Stanford researchers found that people with super-reactive “threat” circuits in their brains saw the biggest changes (like less fear and better emotional control) after taking MDMA. But if your brain isn’t as jumpy, you might not get the same benefits. This could mean brain scans might one day help match people to the right mental health treatments—no more endless trial and error! #Health #MentalHealth #MDMA40Share

Here are 6 signs: 1) Canceled plans = relief. 2) You’re picky about social events. 3) You crave deep convos, not small talk. 4) Socializing drains your battery, so you need solo time. 5) You have a tight circle, not a huge squad. 6) People often mistake you for a full-on extrovert.

Steven Smith+FollowMonday Stress Is Messing With Your HealthEver get that pit-in-your-stomach feeling on Sunday night? Science says it’s not just in your head. A new study found that Monday anxiety actually spikes your stress hormone (cortisol) for months—yep, even if you’re retired! That Monday dread can mess with your immune system and heart, all because our bodies are bracing for the chaos of the week. Experts say doing a quick weekly 'stress inventory' could help. Who knew Mondays were this toxic? #Health #MentalHealth #MondayBlues120Share
mfigueroa+FollowMentally Ill Man Convicted Over Unpaid Car InsuranceCan you believe a guy got a criminal record just for missing his car insurance while he was hospitalized for a mental health crisis? His parents even hid the car to keep him safe, but the court still convicted him—without even reading his letter explaining the situation. The system’s supposed to handle small offenses quickly, but it’s missing real-life context and compassion. Now, there’s talk of reform, but nothing’s changed yet. Wild, right? #Health #MentalHealth #JusticeReform2112Share
Jordan Jimenez+FollowWhy Calm Leaders Win BigEver notice how the best leaders seem unshakeable? Turns out, it’s not just about strategy—it’s about mastering your own nervous system.

Adam Schmidt+FollowKids’ Posts Expose Hidden Health StrugglesScrolling through kids’ social posts, researchers found a LOT more pain than we realized. Nearly all the comments from children with chronic illnesses were negative—sadness and fear everywhere, especially during Covid. But here’s the twist: when care was good, these kids lit up with gratitude and hope. It’s wild how much their online words reveal about what they’re really going through. Makes you think about the real emotional toll behind the scenes. #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters10Share
