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

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

Nearly 40% of 12- to 15-year-olds are stepping back from screens, and some are even deleting apps or going full digital detox. They’re realizing social media isn’t always great for their self-esteem and are rebelling by unplugging. Maybe Gen Z is onto something? #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters17392Share
