Those antidepressants and anxiety medications can be replaced...👀

Pay attention...

🚨 Anti-Depressants can reduce functioning of the temperature regulating area of the brain, the hypothalamus.

Many antidepressants increase your likelihood of excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis.

Specifically, Tricyclic Acid and SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) antidepressants are responsible for this.

The way in which antidepressants cause excessive sweating is still relatively unknown – it is thought to be linked to the effects of serotonin, the happy hormone, in trying to maintain the internal core temperature of the body.

Your body sweats to try and cool down the body but overstimulation of this process can lead to overheating and excess sweating.

In the current heatwave, some people who are taking antidepressants will notice not only more sweating than usual, but also simply feeling the heat more.

This can then lead to dehydration, heat stroke, heat rash, and other heat related issues, so it’s essential that you’re really on top of all the regular hot-weather-related care, such as drinking plenty of water, taking time out of the sun, and avoiding overexertion.

Please stay safe 💜💜💜

Tuskegee University has launched Alabama’s only HBCU aviation program, giving Black students the chance to become certified pilots and continue the legacy of the historic Tuskegee Airmen. Students will train at Moton Field, the same site where the Airmen once trained, helping address the high demand for pilots in the US. Applications for the first aviation sciences degree cohort are open, offering a path into an industry where only 2.59% of pilots are Black today.

Pay attention

Many who’ve escaped abusive relationships, which includes physical violence, sexual violence, threats, and emotional or psychological abuse, swear they’ll never get into another one — only to find themselves in yet another sticky situation.
