Jordan Jimenez+FollowAnxiety Messes With Your Danger RadarEver notice how a quick burst of anxiety can make everything feel risky—even when you know you’re safe? New research found that even short-lived anxiety can totally mess with your ability to tell safe spaces from dangerous ones. In a VR flower-picking game, people who couldn’t remember where the “stinging bees” were stayed anxious, even in safe zones. Turns out, it’s those temporary freak-outs, not just general anxiety, that really mess with your threat radar. Wild, right? #Anxiety #MentalHealth #Neuroscience #PTSD #BrainScience #Health7511Share
mfigueroa+FollowDV’s Mental Health Toll Lasts DecadesWild stat: women who survive domestic violence can still feel the mental health effects nearly 30 years later. This new study found higher rates of PTSD, depression, and even traumatic brain injuries decades after the abuse ends. It’s a huge reminder that healing isn’t just about leaving—it’s a lifelong journey. Researchers say we need way more focus (and support) on this. Did you know the impact could last this long? #MentalHealthMatters #DomesticViolenceAwareness #PTSD #Health131Share
Adam Schmidt+FollowWhy Bipolar Diagnoses Get So ComplicatedEver wonder why treating bipolar disorder can feel like a wild goose chase? Turns out, a ton of people with bipolar also have PTSD, ADHD, or other issues that totally overlap with bipolar symptoms. Docs need to play detective to figure out what’s really going on—otherwise, the wrong meds get prescribed and nothing gets better. Bottom line: If you or someone you know is struggling, push for a thorough evaluation. It’s not just about bipolar—it’s about the whole picture! #MentalHealthMatters #BipolarDisorder #PTSD #ADHD #Diagnosis #Health3612Share
Johnathan Neal+FollowPTSD & Sleep Apnea: The Vicious CycleDid you know PTSD and sleep apnea are basically partners in crime? People with PTSD are way more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea, and the two just keep making each other worse. Nightmares, insomnia, and daytime symptoms all get tangled up. The wild part? Treating sleep apnea can actually help with PTSD symptoms, but sticking to CPAP therapy is tough for many. If you or someone you know is struggling with both, tackling sleep issues might be a game changer! #PTSD #SleepApnea #MentalHealth #SleepHealth #Wellness #Health00Share
herreradennis+FollowPTSD Wiped Out by Nerve Zaps?!This is wild: a new study paired vagus nerve stimulation (think tiny device zapping your neck) with regular PTSD therapy—and every single participant lost their PTSD diagnosis for at least six months. That’s 100% remission, even for folks who didn’t respond to other treatments! The device is smaller than a dime and doesn’t mess with MRIs or anything. Next up: bigger trials and maybe FDA approval. Could this be a total game-changer for PTSD? #PTSD #MentalHealth #Neuroscience #Innovation #Therapy #HealthNews #Health30Share
