๐ง Mental Health is Health
I've worked with people living with both physical and mental health conditions. As a nurse and office manager in the practice of a neuropsychiatrist, I saw firsthand how physical health can affect mental healthโand how mental health can affect physical health.
Although we've made progress in talking about mental health, many people still don't view it with the same importance as physical health. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ง๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ.
- Anxiety can cause a racing heart, muscle tension, headaches, stomach problems, and difficulty sleeping.
- Depression can affect your energy, motivation, concentration, appetite, and even your immune system.
- PTSD can keep the body in a constant state of alert, making it difficult to relax, sleep, or feel safe.
- Personality disorders can affect the way someone experiences emotions, relationships, and everyday life. With understanding and appropriate treatment, many people learn healthy ways to manage their symptoms.
These are real medical conditionsโnot signs of weakness. As Ask Lynne's ABCs of Health continues to grow, I'd like to add more plain-language explanations of common mental health conditions.
๐ฌ Which mental health diagnosis, medical term, or question would you like explained in plain language? Leave it in the comments, and it will become part of Ask Lynne's growing ABCs of Health.
