We often hear phrases like “stay strong”, “move on”, or “keep it to yourself.”

But what happens when emotional suppression becomes a long-term coping style?

A Finnish population-based study (by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and collaborators including Miia Kivipelto, Inna Lisko, Tiia Ngandu, Alina Solomon et al) presented in Alzheimer’s & Dementia examined over 1,100 older adults and found an association between chronic emotional suppression and higher risk of dementia later in life.

Importantly:
• This study shows association, not causation
• The findings need further replication
• Emotional expression does not mean emotional impulsivity

What the research does reinforce is something mental health professionals increasingly recognize:
our emotional wellbeing and brain health are deeply interconnected.

Chronic stress, loneliness, unresolved emotional distress, poor sleep, depression, inflammation, and social withdrawal may all influence long-term cognitive health.

Protecting the brain is not only about memory exercises and medications. It is also about meaningful relationships, emotional processing, stress management, movement, sleep, and holistic wellbeing.

Trauma. You moved on. But your mind didn’t

As part of our Mental Health Self-Check Series, we’re sharing clinically validated tools to help you better understand what you may be experiencing.

- You avoid certain places without knowing why.

- A sound or memory brings back a strong reaction.

- Sleep is disturbed. You feel on edge, even when things seem fine.

For many people, these are not just passing reactions. They can be signs of trauma that the brain is still processing.

At Manaha Clinic | Mind & Neuro Center, we’ve curated a set of clinically validated self-check tools, including a brief PTSD screener (PC-PTSD-5) used in healthcare settings.

It’s a simple way to reflect on whether what you’re experiencing may be related to post-traumatic stress.

✔️ Takes a few minutes
✔️ Private
✔️ Evidence-based

If it raises questions, our team of clinical psychologists can guide you further with structured, assisted assessments.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Yesterday, a Los Angeles jury delivered a major verdict in a youth social media harm case.

And it raises a larger question:
Can addiction look different?

A child doesn’t need a dealer anymore.
Just a phone.

It starts as scrolling.
Then habit.
Then something harder to stop.

No smoke.
No bottle.
No needle.
Still, the harm can be real.

For years, society has recognized drug addiction and alcohol addiction. But internet addiction and social media addiction are still often minimized because the damage is quieter and less visible.

Some are beginning to compare this broader moment to the Big To***co era — not because it is identical, but because the pattern feels familiar: normalization first, accountability later.

The damage may be invisible.
The addiction is real.

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲/𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲.

A child downloads an app at 10.
By 13, it is a habit.
By 16, it is part of her emotional life.
By 20, the damage is no longer easy to dismiss.

On March 25, a Los Angeles jury awarded $3 million in compensatory damages, and then added $3 million more in punitive damages, taking the total to $6 million. Meta was assigned 70% of the damages, and YouTube 30%. The verdict is being watched closely because it could influence thousands of similar lawsuits still pending. (Reuters)

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?

Because when we hear the word addiction, most of us still think of drugs, alcohol, or ni****ne. We think of what we can see. What we can smell. What leaves obvious signs.

But some addictions are quieter.

No bottle.
No smoke.
No needle.
Just a young mind caught in a loop of scrolling, comparison, craving, sleep loss, emotional dependence, and slow changes in confidence, attention, and mood.

That is why some are beginning to compare these cases to Big To***co, not because they are identical, but because the pattern feels familiar: a product normalized for years, growing evidence of harm, and accountability arriving late. (The Washington Post)

This case was not just about content. It was about design: the features, loops, and systems that allegedly kept young users engaged while risks were minimized. Reuters reports the jury found both Meta and Google negligent in design and that they failed to warn users about the risks. (Reuters)

The verdict may be American.
The warning is global.

It is time to start taking internet addiction and social media addiction as seriously as other addictions, especially when children and teenagers are involved.

🌙 Eid Mubarak

A month of Ramadan is a profound journey of discipline, restraint, and inner reflection.

Choosing to fast each day is not just a physical act, it is a practice that builds patience, strengthens emotional regulation, and deepens self-awareness.

At Manaha Mind & Neuro Center, we often speak about how small, consistent practices shape the mind. Ramadan is a powerful example of this, where routine, intention, and meaning come together to create inner balance and resilience.

As the month concludes and Eid is celebrated, it is also a moment to pause, reconnect, and carry forward that sense of clarity and grounding into everyday life.

Wishing everyone celebrating a day filled with peace, warmth, and meaningful connections.

You cannot build sustainable performance on exhausted minds.

In the lead-up to World Sleep Day, our Chief Psychiatrist Dr. Jyothirmayi Kotipalli delivered a session at the National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes and Narcotics on “Sustainable Performance: Managing Sleep, Energy & Professional Dynamics.”

In demanding professional environments, performance is often discussed in terms of discipline, productivity, and resilience. But one of the most powerful foundations of sustained performance is often overlooked — sleep.

The session explored how sleep, energy regulation, and emotional balance influence decision-making, focus, and long-term mental wellbeing.

At Manaha Clinic | Mind & Neuro Center, we believe sleep is not a luxury or an afterthought. It is one of the core pillars of mental health and sustainable professional performance.

As we mark World Sleep Day, perhaps a useful question for all of us is:

How well are we actually sleeping?

బ్రేకప్ లేదా సంబంధాల్లో పెద్ద గొడవ తర్వాత…

మనసు ఒకే ఆలోచన చుట్టూ తిరుగుతుంది.

నిద్ర, ఆకలి, శక్తి—అన్నీ మారిపోతాయి.

ఇది “డ్రామా” కాదు. ఇది మెదడు ఒత్తిడికి ఇచ్చే స్పందన.

వీటిని రెడ్ ఫ్లాగ్స్‌గా తీసుకోండి:

• ఒంటరితనం పెరగడం
• నిద్ర/ఆకలి తగ్గడం
• “ఇక దారి లేదు” అనే భావన
• అదే వ్యక్తి గురించే nonstop ఆలోచనలు

ముఖ్యమైన సూచన:

✅ ఆ సమయంలో ex కి మెసేజ్ చేయకండి.
Instead, reach out to a safe person—family / trusted friend / elder—or a mental health professional.

Breakup distress can feel like a closed box. But the box can open, with the right support.

At Manaha, we offer a holistic plan: psychological therapy, psychiatric care, and neuromodulation options like rTMS where appropriate.

పుట్టింది బ్రతకడానికి… చావడానికి కాదు.
