Education: Educating people about mental health and mental illness can help to dispel myths and reduce stigmas. This can include providing accurate information about the causes and symptoms of mental illness, as well as the most effective treatments.

Open communication: Encouraging open and honest communication about mental health can help to reduce stigmas and promote understanding. This can include sharing personal experiences with mental illness, as well as listening to and supporting others who are struggling.

Empathy: Showing empathy and understanding towards those with mental health issues can help to reduce stigmas and promote acceptance. This can involve putting ourselves in the shoes of those struggling with mental illness and trying to understand their experiences.

Challenging negative attitudes and beliefs: Challenging negative attitudes and beliefs about mental health when we encounter them can help to reduce stigmas and promote acceptance. This can involve speaking up when we hear someone making derogatory or insensitive comments about mental health.

Supporting mental health organizations: Supporting mental health organizations and initiatives can help to reduce stigmas and promote acceptance. This can involve volunteering or donating to organizations that support mental health, as well as participating in mental health awareness campaigns.

Join Kimberlee McCarthy & Megan Covington Rekonnect Wellness as we touch on the topic of stigmas of mental health!

"The most courageous thing you can do for yourself is to speak up and ask for help. Be a voice, not an echo!" Megan Covington

There are several stigmas about mental health that continue to persist in society, including:

*Mental illness is a personal weakness or character flaw.

*All people with mental health issues are dangerous and violent.

*Seeking help for mental health issues is a sign of weakness or failure.

*Mental health issues are not real illnesses and can be cured by willpower alone.

*People with mental health issues should be able to snap out of it or just "get over
it."

*Mental health issues are rare and only affect a small percentage of the population.

*People with mental health issues are not able to function in society or hold down a job.

*Mental health issues are a result of bad parenting or childhood experiences.

*Mental health issues are something to be ashamed of and should be hidden from others.

These stigmas can lead to discrimination, isolation, and shame for those struggling with mental health issues, and can prevent them from seeking the help they need. It's important to break down these stigmas and promote understanding and acceptance of mental health issues.

Perspective can have a significant impact on mental health. The way we view the world and interpret events can influence our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, which in turn can affect our mental health.

For example, if someone tends to view the world in a negative light and focuses on the negative aspects of situations, they may be more likely to experience feelings of sadness, anxiety, and stress. On the other hand, if someone tends to have a more positive outlook and focuses on the good in situations, they may be more resilient and able to cope with stressors more effectively.

Additionally, our perspective can also influence how we perceive and respond to challenges and setbacks. If we view challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, we may be more likely to persevere and develop resilience in the face of adversity. However, if we view challenges as threats or insurmountable obstacles, we may be more likely to feel overwhelmed and experience negative emotions.

Overall, developing a more positive and growth-oriented perspective can be beneficial for mental health, while a negative and defeatist perspective can have a detrimental effect. It's important to recognize the role that perspective plays in our mental health and work to cultivate a healthier, more adaptive way of viewing the world.

Mindset refers to the collection of attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions that an individual holds about themselves, their abilities, and the world around them. It is the way a person thinks and perceives things, and it can have a significant impact on their behavior, decision-making, and overall outlook on life.

A person's mindset can be influenced by various factors, including their upbringing, experiences, cultural background, and social environment. There are two main types of mindset: a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.

A fixed mindset is the belief that one's qualities and abilities are predetermined and cannot be changed. This mindset can lead to a fear of failure and a reluctance to take risks or try new things.

A growth mindset, on the other hand, is the belief that one's abilities can be developed and improved through hard work, practice, and dedication. This mindset fosters a desire to learn and grow, embrace challenges, and see failure as an opportunity for growth.

Developing a growth mindset can lead to greater resilience, motivation, and success in various aspects of life, including academics, career, and personal relationships.

"Lean into the experience! We invite you to bring in the pain and watch you sail through it!" Dr Aaron Gingrich

In recent years, ketamine, has also been used off-label for its potential antidepressant effects, particularly in individuals with treatment-resistant depression.

When used under medical supervision in a controlled setting, such as in a ketamine appointment, the risk of losing control is generally LOW!

It's important to note that the experience of ketamine can vary widely depending on individual factors such as age, weight, medical history, and the dose and method of administration. If you have any concerns about the potential side effects of ketamine, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

Additionally, it's crucial to receive ketamine treatment from a licensed healthcare professional who is trained in administering ketamine and monitoring for potential adverse effects. They can help you to feel comfortable and safe during the appointment, and can intervene if you experience any unexpected side effects.

NPO stands for "nothing by mouth" and is a medical instruction to not eat or drink anything for a certain period of time before a medical procedure. In the case of ketamine treatment, being NPO is typically required for safety reasons.

Therefore, to minimize the risk of complications during ketamine treatment, healthcare providers may ask patients to be NPO for a certain period of time before the procedure. This may involve avoiding food and drink for several hours or overnight, depending on the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully to ensure the safest possible ketamine treatment experience. If you have any questions or concerns about being NPO or other aspects of ketamine treatment, be sure to discuss them with your healthcare provider.

Does ketamine cause dizziness?

One possible reason for dizziness is that ketamine affects the way the brain processes sensory information, including balance and spatial orientation. This can lead to a feeling of disorientation or unsteadiness, which may be experienced as dizziness.

Another reason for dizziness may be related to the dose of ketamine. Higher doses of ketamine can cause more pronounced effects on the central nervous system, which may include dizziness, confusion, and other side effects.

Additionally, individual factors such as age, weight, and overall health may also influence the way that ketamine affects the body, including the experience of dizziness.

It's important to note that dizziness is a known side effect of ketamine and should be discussed with a healthcare professional if it is persistent or severe. They may be able to adjust the dose or provide other interventions such as anti-nausea prior to treatment to help manage this side effect.

This exciting news was shared in a article.

Time Magazine- Research increasingly suggests that psychedelics can be powerful tools for treating a variety of mental health conditions, from PTSD and depression to addiction and eating disorders. “I’ve been doing this for 11 years,” says Albert Perez Garcia-Romeu, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who studies psychedelics. “The overwhelming majority of people that I’ve worked with in this process have been helped by their experiences, and the data are remarkably consistent.”

Dr A Gingrich answers- Some of the comfort measure taken during your treatment.

The most important comfort measure for someone receiving ketamine is to ensure that they are in a safe and comfortable environment, with monitoring of their vital signs and airway. Additionally, providing distractions such as music or videos can help to minimize feelings of anxiety or discomfort. It is important to note that the use of ketamine should only be performed by a licensed healthcare provider, in a controlled medical setting.
