🍺 Alcohol Withdrawal: What You Should Know
Many people believe that stopping alcohol suddenly is always safe.
This is a dangerous myth.
Alcohol withdrawal is a medical condition, not a lack of willpower. When someone who has been drinking heavily for a long time suddenly stops, the brain reacts sharply due to changes in brain chemistry.
🔹 Common early symptoms (6–24 hours):
• Anxiety, restlessness
• Tremors (shaking hands)
• Sweating
• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Insomnia
• Palpitations
🔹 More severe symptoms (24–72 hours):
• Confusion
• High blood pressure
• Fever
• Severe agitation
• Hallucinations
• Seizures
⚠️ In some cases, alcohol withdrawal can become life-threatening if not treated properly.
👉 Important message:
❌ Do not stop alcohol suddenly on your own
✅ Safe withdrawal should always be done under medical supervision
The good news is that alcohol dependence is a treatable medical condition. With the right guidance, medications, and support, recovery is absolutely possible.
🧠 If you or someone you know is struggling, seeking help early can prevent serious complications and save lives.

🧠 Exercise & Mood: What Psychiatry and Science Tell Us

Physical activity is not just good for the body — it plays an important supportive role in mental health as well.

🔹 Regular exercise helps regulate stress hormones like cortisol
🔹 It improves sleep–wake rhythm and emotional resilience
🔹 It supports brain health by enhancing neuroplasticity
🔹 In depression, exercise works as an adjunct, not a replacement, to medical treatment

From a psychiatric perspective, exercise encourages behavioural activation, reduces rumination, and improves overall emotional regulation — which is why it is often recommended alongside therapy and medication when appropriate.

⚠️ Important to remember:
Exercise is not a cure for mental illness, but when used correctly, it can meaningfully support recovery.

📌 Mental health care is always individualized. What works for one person may not be suitable for another.

🧠 Thought Distortions in Depression

Depression doesn’t only affect mood — it changes the way we think.

Many people with depression experience thought distortions like:
• All-or-nothing thinking
• Catastrophizing
• Overgeneralization
• Negative mental filtering
• “Should” statements
• Labeling and personalization

These thoughts may feel true, but they are often not facts.
The good news? With the right treatment, awareness, and therapy, these thinking patterns can be identified, challenged, and changed.

If you or your loved one feels stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts, remember — help is available and recovery is possible.
