How does exercise benefit mental health?
〰️Reduces stress hormones: Exercise helps lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, which can improve overall mood and reduce feelings of anxiety.
〰️Releases endorphins: Physical activity triggers the release of endorphins, natural mood boosters that can create feelings of happiness and well-being.
〰️Improves sleep: Regular exercise can lead to better sleep patterns, which are crucial for both physical and mental health.
〰️Boosts self-esteem: Achieving fitness goals and experiencing the physical changes that come with exercise can significantly improve self-confidence and self-esteem.
〰️Enhances cognitive function: Exercise improves blood flow to the brain, which can enhance cognitive functions like memory and concentration.
〰️Provides a distraction: Physical activity can take your mind off worries and negative thoughts, offering a healthy distraction from stressors.
〰️Promotes social interaction: Group fitness classes or exercising with friends can foster social connections and a sense of community.

The team at Embrace Psychiatric Wellness Center recently did a work out together and team building experience Out Run Your Fork Personal Training outrunyourfork– motivating each other to exercise not just for our physical health but also our mental health.

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a chronic, but treatable medical condition that affects millions of Americans.

It’s marked by a recurring pattern of behaviors, thoughts, and physical responses where individuals continue using drugs or alcohol despite harmful consequences. This includes substances such as alcohol, illicit drugs, and even prescription medications.

Accurate diagnosis is key for treating co-occurring substance use and mental disorders, since symptoms may overlap.

The health care providers at Embrace Psychiatric Wellness Center have experience in both substances use disorders and mental disorders and use our comprehensive assessment tools to reduce the chance of a missed diagnosis and create an effective treatment plan.
