The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that evolved most recently, and it can be sensitive to temporary everyday anxieties and worries. When things are going well, the prefrontal cortex acts as a control center that keeps our baser emotions and impulses in check.

Acute, uncontrollable stress sets off a series of chemical events that weaken the influence of the prefrontal cortex, whilst at the same time, strengthening the dominance of older parts of the brain.

It transfers high-level control over thought and emotion from the prefrontal cortex to the hypothalamus and other structures. As the older parts take over, we may find ourselves consumed by undesirable emotions such as anxiety, stress, anger and being impulsive.

Neuroscience suggests simple ways to help manage these psychological experiences.

Repost from

Another devastating headline. The number of young people in need of emergency mental healthcare in England has soared by more than 50% in three years, according to NHS data. It feels like every week we see new stats that show the scale of the mental health emergency increasing. It’s tough. Young people are struggling. And those in power are not acting urgently enough.
We need more early intervention.
We need places where young people can go when they first start struggling.
No young person should have to reach crisis point to get the support they need. That’s why we’re calling for early mental health support hubs in every local area - a place you can walk in and get support. No appointment or referral needed.
If you believe in early intervention as much as we do, tap the link in our bio to add your name to our open letter to the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt. Let’s do what we can to
