So interesting!

Researchers just found common genes linked to autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, Tourette syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anorexia.

These disorders all share common genetic variants that influence brain development.

Researchers found that these genetic differences impact multiple stages of brain growth and are involved in complex protein interactions. This discovery could explain why many of these conditions often appear together in individuals and families, offering a fresh perspective on mental health connections.

By identifying 683 genetic variants that regulate brain development, scientists hope to pave the way for new treatments targeting these shared genetic factors. This research challenges traditional classifications of psychiatric disorders and suggests that a single therapy could potentially address multiple conditions. With nearly 1 billion people worldwide affected by mental health disorders, these findings mark a significant step toward more effective, genetically-informed treatment

You asked for it and we went there. The most requested topic: Let’s talk about s*x baby 🙌 This episode takes a deep dive into topics such as, how to talk to your kids about s*x, what messages we learned about s*x growing up, how body image plays a major role in how we feel about s*x, responding to your partner’s bids, and opening up communication with your partner about s*x. This episode was created incredibly mindfully to start the dialogue about a subject that is challenging and scary for most of us to delve into.

We want to hear from you! What our your thoughts on the episode? What did we miss? What did we get wrong? Dm us!

Being vulnerable can be SO hard and scary, but it is the gateway to positive emotions such as love, joy, courage, creativity, and gratitude. It also is the bridge to connection with others. What can you do today to lean into vulnerability?
