For many people, living with ADHD means struggling with their set of symptoms, and experiencing the negative reactions of others, who do not understand this disorder. A new comic is trying to help both people who live with ADHD and those around them to recognize the effects on everyday life, particularly how this can lead to other mental health disorders, such as depression. If you are experiencing symptoms of ADHD and/ or depression, contact a licensed counselor for help.

Can you relate?

At this point, you may have heard about the disturbing video game that is sweeping across the world. Parents have learned that some schools have not properly set up controls to block students from accessing this via their school computers/ accounts. I encourage all parents to contact their children's schools and directly ask if this has been done. Games like this both expose children to distressing content, and minimize the real-world effects of serious, life-altering situations.

A FNAF-inspired game called 'Five Nights at Epstein's' has gone viral among US students as it takes place in Jeffrey Epstein's Little St. James island, where he lured his victims.

Perhaps you have seen this video by now, but it is a good reminder for how we listen to others. Going straight to problem-solving is a common habit, and for understandable reasons. We want to remove the pain and sources of problems for the people we love. But when we go straight to the "fix its," we accidentally negate their feelings, ignoring what they really need from us in the moment. The moral? Take time to really hear what someone is communicating, and take a few steps back from solving the problems.

"Don't try to fix it. I just need you to listen." Every man has heard these words. And they are the law of the land. No matter what.

How do you feel about cooking? I think I can hear a chorus of sighs from around the world just from asking that question. For many of us, it's a daily chore to be completed, not relished. Others, however, have made the case that it can not only be nourishing, but also enjoyable, or even relaxing. The connections to social relationships and the meditative qualities of cooking are primary to this. Even when cooking alone, it may remind us of a past experience with a loved one. The repetitive elements of chopping, measuring, and stirring allow our brains to calm. Next time you are getting ready to prepare a meal, try to focus on ways to engage with these elements, rather than focusing on the chore of it.

Cooking isn't just another task to be completed; it can be self-care, a creative outlet, and a means of connection, all rolled into one.

Anxiety can stop you in your tracks. It can make you feel like you don't have control of you body or brain, and that you haven't, and likely won't, ever do anything "right." For good or for bad, you are not alone in this feeling, regardless of how severe it is for you. So much so, that it is a topic of all sorts of media: books, news articles, movies, and music. Fortunately, there is treatment. If you are struggling with anxiety, seek help from a licensed counselor and/ or psychiatrist. Until then, perhaps this song will help you feel understood!

While I can see the pros of AI, such as a quick summary of a Google search on options for your next vacation, or even a little guidance on some tricky math homework, I have a significant wariness of it as well. I've read too many articles on the ways in which it manipulates us with its "yes and" programmed responses. Using it as a companion or support moves into a world where we are truly replacing human contact with a computer. Doing so will likely lead to decreased empathy and understanding for others, particularly those who are different than us, and increased anxiety and difficulty connecting with others. The extent to which this can move into other problems such as touch starvation remains to be seen, but is a real concern for me. When we rely on inanimate objects for connection, we inadvertently push humans away. While some may argue that they have not found people to be kind or supportive, the overall risk of this significantly outweighs the benefits, in my humble opinion.

Are we trading human intimacy for scripted comfort?

While we have long known that diet (particularly certain vitamins and minerals) can affect mental health, the extent to which this is the case is just now becoming clearer. If you are experiencing anxiety or depression, and haven't had your annual bloodwork done, ask your doctor to check for a variety of deficiencies. If you are low on any of these, talk to your doctor about your options. While it can be tempting to just start taking an over-the-counter supplement, you should not do so without consulting you physician; for some of these, high levels can be toxic.

Poor nutrition could contribute to mental illness, but are supplements the answer?

Did you know that today is National Napping Day? I didn't even know there was such a thing! If you need an energy boost and decide to take a nap, remember not to do so later in the day, or for very long. Set a timer so you don't accidentally turn that 20-minute cat-nap into a 3-hour full sleep. While napping can be very helpful for our physical and mental health, it can also easily throw off our sleep patterns. Happy napping!

Taking a nap can be good your health. Find out how to make the most of a nap.

Remember, way back in elementary school, when your teacher made you write the same thing repeatedly, you took notes by hand, and studying for a test meant copying the most important passages from your textbook into a notebook? There was, in fact, reason for doing so. We really do learn more, and retain it for a longer time period, when we handwrite information. Journaling by hand is also more effective. Yes, you can type your journal entries into your phone or computer, but they tend to be much more effective if you write them out by hand--even if you then destroy the entry. Research not only concurs with this, it suggests that spending time daily hand writing information (on paper, not with a stylus on a tablet) can actually reduce your risk of dementia. Just another reminder that perhaps it's time for all of us to put down our technology and go old-school, picking up a pen and notepad instead.

Background: The advent of digital technology has significantly altered ways of writing. While typing has become the dominant mode of written communication, handwriting remains a fundamental human skill, and its profound impact on cognitive processes ...

Looking for love? It can feel impossibly difficult, both in meeting someone and deciding if they may be the one for you. If they haven't checked off all 4 of the boxes in this article, though, they likely are not. It sounds simple, even "duh"-worthy, but in reality, it can be easy to decide someone is "good enough" and stop the search. Give yourself the time and respect to find someone who will be most likely to go the distance with you, and walk away from the relationships that won't.

If a partner doesn't meet all four of these standards, they may not be right for you.

There are so many things that test a partnership, from big things like family deaths to small things, like a shirt that's been left out. How do you handle these within your relationship? Do you talk about them honestly, seeking to find mutual understand and support for each other, or do you hold onto them, grasping at the perceived wrongs for dear life. Just recognizing this may provide some insight into relationship, and your role in it. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/15/style/modern-love-not-putting-away-shirt.htm

Sometimes it’s the uneventful stretches of marriage that can be the real stress test.

We all know that some areas of the world are known for scoring higher on happiness ratings than others. What about these cultures, regions, or people lead to these scores? A more balanced work-life schedule is a part of this. Societal decisions, such as provision of free or reasonably-priced childcare and healthcare, and exposure to nature also influence the level of contentment. As does the awareness of and support for mental health needs, both large and small. It may feel difficult to impossible to bring many, if not all, of these into your daily life, but look for small things that you can do differently. Maybe you start a nightly walk around your neighborhood, looking for changes in trees, potted plants, or pets in windows. Perhaps you consciously stop work at a specific time daily, and refrain from looking at email or answering phone calls outside of work hours. Or maybe you look to truly identify what you do and do not have control over and what you need in order to accept or cope with the situation regardless. It may not be easy, and you certainly won't be perfect at it, but we can all make small changes that will help to increase our own contentment, if not also that of those within our communities.

Even with no sunlight for parts of the year, people in Finland thrive when it comes to their life satisfaction.
