- We all have VERY DIFFERENT BRAINS.
- Close to 1/2 of all Americans, as some point in their life, will struggle with a mental illness, impairing your ability to function in life in various arena.
- Addressed early, one can greatly alleviate the symptoms and suffering of mental illness.
- The same wiring that can predispose one to mental illness also often comes along with a wiring potential for great strengths.
- Stigma continues to keep many from being diagnosed and treated.
- Mental health is health.
- Many people who experience mental pain also feel physically pain.
- If you are living with chronic pain, it can also cause depression by itself.
- The brain changes over time depending on what environmentally is happening to it and what we are experiencing and processing.
- Make sure you are getting help from a real mental health professional, not just from someone you follow on TikTok.
