Did you know that self-care is a noble and conscious act for your comprehensive health.
There are several ways of self-care to prevent diseases and today we share them with you:
Physical self-care: This consists of taking care of our body from what we eat, keeping the whole organism active with exercises and taking care of the hours of rest.
Mental self-care: Creative and critical thinking is what will allow you to keep your mind healthy, which is achieved by learning something new, managing negative thoughts by seeing the bright side of the situation, recognizing negative emotions and working on them.
Social self-care: Interacting with other people in different environments helps you lead a full life.
We are social beings and therefore by maintaining communication with other people it allows us to maintain a balance with what we are and what surrounds us.
Emotional self-care: Learning to manage emotions is the key.
Emotions influence everything we do and negative ones are the cause of diseases that we must avoid.
It is for this reason that we must always prioritize what we feel in adverse situations over what others feel (family, friends, co-workers).
Spiritual self-care: Spiritual self-care has nothing to do with religion but with the relationship with what is not material, with that energy that you cannot see but you feel inside.
Among the practices to maintain spiritual self-care is practicing gratitude, meditating, among others.
At Total Harmony Medicine we help you in your self-care.

Exercise is not only beneficial for physical well-being but also plays a vital role in mental and emotional healing, particularly in recovery from substance use disorders. For individuals in recovery, incorporating regular physical activity can be a powerful tool in building a healthier physical and mental lifestyle. It’s not just about getting fit – exercise in recovery helps rebuild confidence, improve mood, and strengthen resilience during the journey toward sobriety.
Importance of Physical Activity in Healing
Physical activity in recovery is more than a suggestion – it’s often a critical component of a well-rounded treatment plan. As individuals navigate the complex challenges of sobriety, exercise can provide a structured outlet for managing stress, emotions, and withdrawal symptoms. Regular movement also supports the body’s natural detox processes, enhancing the physical recovery from the effects of substance use.
Understanding Recovery
Types of Recovery (Physical and Mental)
Recovery is a holistic process that involves healing the body and the mind. Physical recovery refers to rebuilding strength, stamina, and health that may have deteriorated due to substance use. This includes improving cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and overall vitality. On the other hand, mental recovery involves managing the psychological effects of addiction, including anxiety, depression, and the emotional challenges that often arise during sobriety.
Role of Exercise in Recovery
Exercise supports physical and mental recovery by providing a positive outlet to release stress and anxiety while promoting the body’s natural healing ability. For many, working out helps to manage cravings and restore balance by producing endorphins, often referred to as the “feel-good” hormones, which can mimic some of the brain’s chemical responses associated with substance use.
Physical Benefits of Exercise
Improves Cardiovascular Health
Regular physical activity is one of the best ways to improve cardiovascular health. In recovery, improving heart health is crucial because many substances, particularly stimulants and depressants, can have long-term adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. Exercise helps to reduce blood pressure, improve circulation, and strengthen the heart, which can help individuals feel more energized and physically capable.
Enhances Muscle Strength
After months or years of inactivity or the physical toll substances take on the body, many in recovery face a loss of muscle mass and strength. Incorporating strength training into a recovery plan can restore muscle strength, build endurance, and improve overall physical function. This not only contributes to better health but also helps individuals regain a sense of control over their bodies.
Boosts Energy Levels
Fatigue is common during recovery, especially in the early stages. Exercise is an effective way to combat this exhaustion, as it increases oxygen flow to the muscles and tissues, which boosts energy levels over time. Regular physical activity creates a natural energy reserve, making everyday tasks easier.
Mental Health Benefits
Reduces Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety
Mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, are often closely linked to addiction. Exercise serves as a natural antidepressant by increasing the production of endorphins and serotonin, chemicals that improve mood and alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety. These benefits are significant for those in recovery, as they reduce the likelihood of relapse and help build emotional resilience.
Improves Sleep Quality
Sleep disturbances are common in recovery, with individuals often experiencing insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns. Exercise can help regulate sleep cycles, promoting more profound, more restful sleep. As individuals engage in physical activity, their bodies become better conditioned to wind down in the evening, aiding in both falling asleep and staying asleep.
Enhances Cognitive Function
Substance abuse can have long-term effects on cognitive function, including memory, decision-making, and attention span. Exercise has been shown to stimulate brain function, improving clarity, focus, and overall mental performance. Regular physical activity encourages the growth of new neural connections, which can counteract the damage caused by substance use and enhance recovery outcomes.
Exercise Types for Recovery
Cardiovascular Exercises
Cardio exercises like running, swimming, or cycling improve heart health and boost mood. These activities increase endurance, improve circulation, and burn calories, making them a crucial part of a recovery routine. Walking or light jogging can be a gentle introduction to cardiovascular fitness for those starting.
Strength Training
Building muscle through strength training exercises, such as weight lifting, resistance bands, or bodyweight exercises, improves posture, balance, and overall physical strength. Strength training also supports mental discipline, helping individuals in recovery develop a routine that fosters both psychological and physical resilience.
Flexibility and Balance Exercises
Flexibility exercises, such as yoga or Pilates, promote relaxation while improving range of motion and balance. These exercises are particularly beneficial for individuals in recovery because they encourage mindfulness and body awareness, which are helpful for emotional regulation and stress management.
Integrating Exercise into Recovery Programs
Consultation with Healthcare Providers
Before beginning any exercise routine, individuals in recovery must consult healthcare providers or fitness professionals to ensure their activities are safe and appropriate for their physical condition. Tailoring a fitness plan to individual needs helps prevent injury and maximize the benefits of recovery exercise.
Setting Realistic Goals
Establishing clear, achievable goals is essential for maintaining motivation and measuring progress. Whether completing a daily walk or lifting heavier weights over time, setting small, attainable goals can create a sense of accomplishment and foster self-confidence during recovery.
Monitoring Progress
Tracking progress helps individuals see the tangible benefits of exercise, which can motivate them to continue their routines. Monitoring fitness improvements, whether through increased stamina, muscle growth, or improved mental clarity, reinforces the positive impact of exercise on recovery.
Overcoming Challenges in Exercise and Recovery
Dealing with Motivation
Finding the motivation is one of the biggest hurdles in starting and maintaining an exercise routine. Building accountability by joining a support group or working with a recovery coach can help maintain consistency. Many find that the social aspect of exercising in a group setting further strengthens their commitment to staying active.
Finding the Right Support
Incorporating exercise into a recovery plan can be challenging, but support from friends, family, or professionals can make a significant difference. Encouragement and understanding from a supportive network can provide the emotional boost needed to stay on track with fitness goals.
Recommendations for Starting an Exercise Routine
Tips for Beginners
For those new to exercise, it’s essential to start slowly. Simple activities, like walking, light stretching, or gentle yoga, can be great starting points. Gradually increasing intensity over time helps prevent burnout and injury while building a sustainable fitness routine.
Importance of Consistency
Consistency is key in seeing the benefits of recovery exercise. Creating a regular schedule and sticking to it can foster discipline and ensure that the positive effects of exercise become long-lasting habits.
Listening to Your Body
While consistency is important, listening to your body is equally essential. Pushing too hard can lead to injury or exhaustion, so understanding physical limits and permitting yourself to rest when necessary is crucial for long-term success.
Get Help Today
Exercise in recovery offers numerous benefits that extend far beyond physical fitness. Regular physical activity is critical in healing, from improving cardiovascular health and muscle strength to boosting mood and cognitive function. Starting an exercise routine can feel challenging, but with the proper support and guidance, the rewards are worth the effort. Embracing exercise as part of your recovery journey can lead to a healthier, more balanced life, both physically and mentally.

Just after practically a single year of isolation to stay away from contracting COVID-19, Fresno’s older grownups are voicing the invisible means the pandemic is influencing their health.
In a study concluded by visitors, quite a few retirees explained to The Bee that isolation from family members, close friends and other social outings is using a toll on their mental and psychological wellbeing. Similarly, in a study done by the Fresno Madera Company on Growing old, 42% of respondents documented inner thoughts of melancholy, loneliness or isolation.
Fresno Point out gerontology professor Dr. Helen Miltiades instructed The Bee the pandemic and isolation can guide to other negative health effects that might go unreported, this kind of as cognitive decline, elder abuse and the perpetuation of stereotypes about more mature and growing old grownups.
She highlighted operate from the Alzheimer’s Association that looked at federal data for 2020 and found 38,000 unpredicted Alzheimer’s fatalities that weren’t linked to COVID, and maximize of 16% for what was predicted.
“So isolation is lethal for older grownups,” Miltiades said.
The 2020 yearly program update for the Fresno Madera Agency on Aging uncovered about 38,600 persons age 60 and more mature in Fresno and Madera counties dwell by itself, and much more than 30,000 are geographically isolated. Alongside one another, the two counties are dwelling to an believed 215,000 grownups age 60 and older.
‘Missing the moments in life’
Leslie Botos, 73, returned to Fresno to finish her profession and retire below, but mainly she and her spouse required to reside in the vicinity of their new grandson.
Considering that the pandemic strike in March 2020, they’ve barely seen their grandson. They stood outdoors at a gate and waved when sporting their Halloween costumes. They left Christmas gifts on the porch and celebrated over Zoom.
“The hardest thing for me that is had the most emotional impact is missing the moments in everyday living of a tiny one increasing up — individuals times that you don’t prepare, like mastering to examine a guide and looking at him acquire his initial techniques,” she stated.
Botos lives with an autoimmune affliction and limits her general public outings. She’s long gone to a handful of physician and dentist appointments, but her spouse does most of the grocery buying.
As a social particular person, Botos said she has greatly missed exchanging hugs.
“I know we smile with our faces and mouths, but now we also smile with our eyes,” she mentioned.
In retirement, she hoped to volunteer. She and her husband looked forward to spontaneous journeys to the coast in the center of the 7 days. Botos reported she’s grateful for Zoom so she can stay linked and continue to meet new people.
Still, she has grieved the decline of good friends — and time.
“As we get more mature, we comprehend the time we have is fewer and significantly less. Having a total 12 months of it is using a entire bunch of our life,” she claimed. “There’s not a whole lot of time remaining for me.”
Botos gained the to start with dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in late January and was scheduled to get the 2nd dose this month. Her partner was vaccinated as a result of Veterans Affairs.
Health results of isolation
In advance of chatting about the health outcomes of isolation, Miltiades explained it is vital to try to remember aging older people by now confront heightened possibility and worry more than the health effects of COVID-19.
“You include this layer of ‘you’re most most likely to die,’” she said.
The pandemic eradicated older adults’ protecting community variables, this kind of as houses of worship, senior centers, congregate meal websites — and even medical doctor offices. Retirees already are a lot more by yourself since they do not have a function location. Include the pandemic to the combine, and quite a few are faced with caring for by themselves, way too, Miltiades stated.
Social engagement is essential to remaining healthy for getting older persons and contributes to longevity, she explained.
“There is a large element of in fact sensation like you matter,” she reported. “Talking to individuals is very good for your thoughts. It’s stimulating. It will help your self-esteem to come to feel value, like you make a difference and like you have a objective.”
Losing these items usually takes a huge toll on psychological and emotional health.
Moreover, the vocabulary of mental health isn’t automatically one thing more mature older people really feel at ease employing, Miltiades claimed. They most likely won’t say they are frustrated or anxious, but they will say they’re stressed.
Trevor Birkholz is a clinical supervisor for the older adult staff with Fresno County Section of Behavioral Health. He and his group work with men and women age 60 and about who have considerable mental health desires. The group also connects people with other resources in the group.
Doing work with their clientele during the pandemic has been hard for the reason that they struggle to connect on the internet or on the cell phone. They also aren’t carrying out group classes.
“COVID has led them to be increasingly isolated, and that deepens their stress and melancholy,” he claimed.
The pandemic has discovered some silver linings for his shoppers, Birkholz claimed. Quite a few by now were being isolated ahead of the pandemic, so because most folks now are isolated his shoppers truly feel more “normal.” Some clients been given phone calls from relatives users they experienced not read from in yrs and had been able to reconnect.
Recommendations for staying lively and linked
Whilst it’s significant to follow health protocols these types of as carrying masks and practising social distancing, Miltiades proposed examining the hazards of observing family members associates who are more mature. If both equally sides have been isolating for two months, the threat of visiting outdoors with masks is comparatively very low. If you the two currently approach to go grocery browsing, what would it hurt to display up there at the similar time?
“I believe you have to consider pitfalls, and I really don’t consider people are performing that. They are just terrified,” she explained.
Birkholz mentioned the No. 1 detail to do to keep healthy if you are isolating is to retain your regime. Wake up and consume meals regularly at the same time every day.
He also advised limiting consumption of undesirable news to two hours weekly.
“Ask you: Am I discovering just about anything new by looking at 6 hrs of the news about COVID?” he reported. “Our brains and our bodies can only manage so much. When we go above that, we can all get to a tipping stage when we definitely get worse.”
It’s also important to arrive at out to another person you rely on who will be being familiar with and supportive, instead than a person who will tell you, “Don’t fret, it will all be Alright,” Birkholz explained.
Each he and Miltiades encouraged protecting a passion.
If you’re capable, adjust your landscapes as significantly as probable by acquiring outdoor, whether or not that implies having a walk or even a push.
Stated Miltiades: “You can only keep within for so lengthy.”

Our nation reported more mental health stress in 2020, but there was not a corresponding increase in people seeking mental health treatment, according to the inaugural State of the Nation’s Mental Health report.
However, there were two conditions for which diagnoses and treatment grew in 2020: anxiety and PTSD for adults. These findings support the results of a recent study showing that four out of 10 U.S. adults reported symptoms of anxiety or depression in 2020, up from one in 10 in 2019.
The report’s findings, based on behavioral health plan claims from 27 million people in the United States, reflect the pandemic disconnect between feeling stressed and depressed and being diagnosed and seeking treatment.
Two groups had the largest overall downturn: younger children and older adults. One possible reason for the drop in children’s diagnoses is that they spent less time with teachers, coaches and other mentors during the pandemic. The Silent Generation — people 75 and older — may not have used telehealth services as much as other groups and delayed getting health care appointments.
The State of the Nation’s Mental Health report showed the following drops in 2020 rates for those treated for mental health diagnoses compared with those treated in 2019:
10 percent overall drop for
young children
5 percent overall drop for adolescents
5 percent overall drop for adults older than 75
13 percent drop for young children diagnosed with ADHD
8 percent drop for adolescents diagnosed with ADHD
8 percent drop in adults older than 75 diagnosed with dementia
3 percent drop for both Baby Boomers and adults older than 75 diagnosed for depression
The results of the study are supported by data from IngenioRx, a pharmacy benefits manager. While the overall use for depression medications was up in 2020, much of that increase is due to existing users being better about taking their medications as prescribed, according to IngenioRx medication data. New users of these medications increased at the same rate as 2019.
“It’s not surprising that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected people’s mental health,” commented Neil Leibowitz, MD, JD, chief medical officer/behavioral health at Beacon Health Options, a leading behavioral health services company. “However, because people aren’t seeking services at a rate we would expect them to, it’s a reminder that we all need to understand what people are going through and do what we can to make sure they get care. We encourage people to get the COVID-19 vaccine to protect their physical health. Likewise, we need to encourage people to practice self-care and get treatment to protect their mental health.”
Many health care professionals believe the pandemic will affect our nation’s mental health for years to come. Nearly three out of four mental health specialists and primary care doctors estimate that the mental health effects from the pandemic will last up to three years or longer, according to an Anthem Inc.-commissioned survey.
The pandemic has highlighted the importance of mental health for doctors and patients alike. Nine out of 10 of surveyed providers reported they are more aware of their patients’ mental health challenges. Also, 70 percent said their patients have been more willing to bring up mental health issues during appointments.
“There is no doubt that 2020 was the most difficult of years,” said Dr. Leibowitz. “However, the year presented us with an opportunity. This reported uptick in awareness shows promise that attitudes concerning mental health are changing. I don’t think we have yet to see the end to mental health stigma, but assuming this data reflects a larger national trend, 2020 led us closer to an openness around discussing mental health.”

By staying busy, for every task achieved, it rewards us by the hormone of happiness, the dopamine.

|
mental_wellness

It’s not uncommon for many of us to have thoughts and conversations running inside our heads. It could be your to-do list for the day, a random observation about your surroundings, or it could be your own self-talk.
Self-talk is defined as the dialogue you have going on inside your head. It can be either positive or negative, encouraging, or distressing. If caring for yourself was a road trip, self-talk would be considered your navigation system. And like most people, you probably live with a mixture of both positive and negative self-talk.
The tricky part about negative self-talk is that it can take many forms. Here are four of the most common categories of negative self-talk and how you can combat them:
Type 1: Personalizing
Have you ever had plans get canceled and you automatically think it must be because of you? Or perhaps a coworker brushed you off and you thought it was surely because they must not want to be around you?
Personalizing is a type of negative self-talk where you blame yourself for anything that goes wrong. Whenever a bad situation occurs, it must be because of you.
Type 2: Catastrophizing
There’s something to be said about preparing for the worst. The difference between preparedness and catastrophizing is that you take it a step further. When you catastrophize, you automatically anticipate the worst.
For example, your local coffee shop gives you the wrong latte, and you now believe that the rest of your day is ruined. You expect the worst, and no amount of logic or reason could convince you otherwise.
Type 3: Magnifying
It’s a beautiful Saturday, so you decide to tackle the yard. You weed, prune, and mulch. You rake away any remaining winter leaves and spend the whole day trying to get your yard in shape. Neighbors pass by and compliment you on the amazing work you’ve done. But that evening, all you can think about is how you didn’t get the gutters cleaned out or finish trimming up that one shrub.
This is considered magnifying or filtering. It’s when you take a certain situation and remove all the positives. Instead of the beautiful work you accomplished, all you see are undone tasks and your shortcomings.
Type 4: Polarizing
This is when you see things as either black or white, good or bad. There’s no middle ground to process or categorize. You either have to be perfect or you’re a total failure.
Practice Positive Self-Talk Daily
These examples may feel extreme, but negative thoughts can invade your mind in much more subtle ways. The good news is that cultivating positive thinking is possible and relatively simple. It takes practice, but it’s absolutely possible to create new internal dialogue habits.
Here are a few tips to get you going:
- Get moving. Exercise is known to bust stress, curb anxiety, improve your confidence, and boost your mood.
- Surround yourself with positivity. Hanging around other negative people can increase your stress levels and make you feel more agitated – talk about a huge hit on your mental health! So, make sure that the people you surround yourself with are supportive and positive.
- Start practicing. If your thoughts are mostly negative, see how you can put a positive twist on them. For example, promise yourself that for every negative thought, you will respond by thinking two positive ones! Remember to be gentle and kind to yourself – you’re learning a new skill!
Start Today
Creating new habits takes time. While you won’t transform into an optimist overnight, making small steps each day will soon get you there. Doing so will help to lessen the inner critic and may even help you appreciate the world around you more.
You can start making changes today, one thought at a time.

SIMILARITY: 0.4061
A video gaming disorder is going to be named a mental condition for the first time, according to New Scientist.
The World Health Organization is classifying gaming disorder as a mental condition, according to the report. WHO will make the change in 2018, and language has not been finalized.
The disorder is defined in draft form as a condition if someone gives increasing priority to gaming "to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests," according to New Scientist.
"Health professionals need to recognize that gaming disorder may have serious health consequences," Vladimir Poznyak, a member of the WHO’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse said according to The Independent. “Most people who play video games don’t have a disorder, just like most people who drink alcohol don’t have a disorder either. However, in certain circumstances overuse can lead to adverse effects.”

SIMILARITY: 0.4692
Jim Sliney at Patients Rising asked me to write my perspective about the barriers of patient access to healthcare.
There are three big barriers, in my experience. These barriers to healthcare access keep people from getting the mental healthcare services they need.
The superficial answer is cost, distance, and stigma. But the complete answer is a combination of those in conjunction with low self-esteem and inertia. You can use your health advocate to develop a sense of presence in your environment (including a sense of personal power) and persistence.
Seeking Help is Being Strong
Mental Health Treatment has carried a stigma in most cultures. Self-reliant American culture associates it with weakness. Certain faith communities believe that the afflicted have a spiritual deficit. Nancy Reagan dismissed drug abuse as willful misbehavior. Her “Just Say No” promotion changed the model of care and legitimized re-allocating resources away from treatment. These cultural factors can contribute to the weight of hopelessness that you feel as you seek help.
Managing your feelings means changing how you think about the other barriers that exist within the structure of service delivery. Insurance plans often have a different co-pay or additional deductible for mental health care. Plans emphasize the briefest modes of treatment, usually pharmacotherapy, while ignoring the evidence-based research that shows that medication and counseling combined are more effective for the client.
Large scale programs such as Kaiser Permanente and the Department of Veterans Affairs introduce evaluation protocols with the intent of assuring equal access and standardized treatment methods. Ironically, they assure the opposite. Even smaller County-run clinics share these types of bureaucratic-structured barrier problems.
Getting What You Deserve
One veteran explained that negotiating the requirements to get the VA mental health services required jumping through numerous hoops. By the time he had dealt with the frustrations, the delays, and obfuscation in the system, he had developed coping strategies to manage his feelings to the point that he didn’t need help anymore. He got better. Even so, this is a poor excuse for care.
I work with patients regularly, helping them demand a second opinion when dealing with the barriers to healthcare access. Often that happens to be an option within their plan, but they feel they aren’t entitled to access it. If you are one of those who have been turned down once, you need a boost to get over the barrier. Low self-esteem makes for a slippery climb.
Change of Mindset
If you’re struggling with depressive feelings, your self-esteem bucket is likely near empty. Don’t despair. Many people walking through life feeling bad about the person they see in the mirror each day. The task for you in navigating the care system is to use the advocacy assistance available and prepare psychologically to interact with the system to get the right care. As you do that, your self-esteem will improve, too.
The first step is simple. First, disregard the MSRP. New car price stickers shock your system. But a salesperson will tell you that he can make the car “affordable.” In healthcare, the MSRP is the rules that govern who gets care, where, for how long, and from whom. If you are told that what you need is “not covered,” psychologically, disregard the rules.
Move Out of Your Comfort Zone and Change The Game
My recommendation goes against all the social prescriptions you have learned growing up. These can be recognized in familiar sayings. “Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.” One that I particularly like and seems relevant for our discussion is, “Do unto others what you would have them do to you.” Only flip it around in your mind: “Expect from others what you would have done for them.”
This serves to legitimize your request. Without that sense of compassionate entitlement, you will have difficulty accessing all the available advocacy resources. I work with patients regularly who can’t ask to be referred to a specialist. If it involved a family member, they would be the first to stand up! But in some way, for themselves, they feel they might be expecting too much. Have you ever felt this way? Consider asking for an exception.
Overcoming Inertia, Making the First Steps Forward
Tackling the health care monster might feel overwhelming. So don’t give them that power. Even the largest corporation has an individual at the top. And as you negotiate your care, you only have to deal with the doctor, nurse, technician, or clerk in front of you. You can overcome the barriers to healthcare access.
Initiate. They can’t read your mind. If you approach them with the changed attitude that what you are requesting is reasonable, you are setting the stage for the discussion. Be ready to feel frustrated. That’s the system’s defense against your reasonable request. If they can poke you to escalate into expressing anger, they get to dismiss you as irrational. Keep your cool. Believe in yourself. Use your advocate.
Persist. Return to ask again. Ask to be referred to someone else who might be able to help you. In many cases, systems are like mazes. You have to find your way around inside them. Your advocate can help with that. My input focuses on how you contain your feelings in order to maximize your results.
Take Up Space
A client once told me that her physical size was her psychological armor. She displayed confidence as she moved through the world. She had no fear even though she lived in a bad neighborhood. She was not trained in martial arts, but she conveyed the message, “don’t mess with me.” You probably have met someone like this.
You have a place in the world. You have a right to be where you are at. I’ve had clients who will defer to others in line waiting to register for a visit. I am not suggesting you push to the front of the cue, but claim your place. You’ll feel better, and you’ll work with your advocate in a more assured way. In the end, express gratitude for what you receive. It will smooth the way for you and others the next time. We’re all in this together.
I hope my advice on how to overcome the barriers to healthcare access provides you with the guidance needed.

Whole-System Approaches
Association of Mental Health Providers encourages better integrated personal and support planning to provide effective joined-up care which can be accurately tailored to a person’s needs. By working with members to ensure coordinated planning and provision, the Association champions services which will provide effective whole-person care.
There are an increasing number of people with health problems that require access to a combination of health and social care services. The knowledge and experience of the voluntary mental health services can play an important part in bridging the gaps between statutory services and appropriate support planning. The Association is focused on taking forward the evidence for the effectiveness of service provision in this area and outline where integration is working well.
Specific areas of interest are crisis care and the improvements in response to mental health crisis, voluntary and community sector initiatives in criminal justice, housing and support for wider access and choice to a range of psychological therapies.

Enhancing Quality of Life (QOL) has long been an explicit or implicit goal for individuals, communities, nations, and the world. But defining QOL and measuring progress toward meeting this goal have been elusive. Diverse “objective” and “subjective” indicators across a range of disciplines and scales, and recent work on subjective well-being (SWB) surveys and the psychology of happiness have spurred interest. Drawing from multiple disciplines, we present an integrative definition of QOL that combines measures of human needs with subjective well-being or happiness. QOL is proposed as a multi-scale, multi-dimensional concept that contains interacting objective and subjective elements. We relate QOL to the opportunities that are provided to meet human needs in the forms of built, human, social and natural capital (in addition to time) and the policy options that are available to enhance these opportunities. Issues related to defining, measuring, and scaling these concepts are discussed, and a research agenda is elaborated. Policy implications include strategies for investing in opportunities to maximize QOL enhancement at the individual, community, and national scales.

Many Minds (Photo: Jack Offord)
Organisations are finding creative ways to boost wellbeing across the city in the midst of increasing demand for mental health support. Hollye Kirkcaldy speaks to the people on the frontline to hear how these services are transforming lives for the better.
We’re in the eye of a perfect mental health storm. A devastating combination of the long-term impact of the covid pandemic, the more recent cost-of-living crisis and endless NHS waiting lists has left thousands struggling to access support for poor mental health. According to recent NHS figures, 124,800 adults across the south west have been referred to community-based mental health and learning disability services but are still waiting for their second appointment, a figure that’s gone up by 25% in the last 12 months alone. Demand is surging but with people waiting months to access NHS Talking Therapies, it is falling to Bristol charities to create much-needed safe spaces within local communities for mental health and emotional wellbeing support.
Human contact is important”
91 Ways to Build A Global City is a social enterprise based in Bristol which connects disadvantaged communities through the power of food, including supper clubs and cooking classes. For founder Kalpna Woolf, bringing people together over food is transformative for mental wellbeing: “We always say that sharing a proper plate of food is an act of kindness,” she says. “You’re reaching out and showing them you care. It really makes a difference. I don’t care if people come to our sessions and don’t want to learn to cook. I care that they’ve come to have a chat with somebody. Human contact is important.”
It’s an ethos shared by mental health charity Many Minds, which facilitates creative drama workshops and theatre performances to support its members who have a broad range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression and schizophrenia.
“There is a whole body of research to show that the arts have a positive impact on well-being,” says co-founder Olivia Ware. “The space that we provide is specifically designed by and around our members. It allows people to be themselves, allows them to be creative, provides a release which doesn’t necessarily involve having to always talk about how you’re feeling.”
Ware shares the story of a talented pianist who attended the Many Minds workshops but was reluctant to appear in their upcoming performance due to anxiety. “We were exploring ideas of how he could be involved,” she says. “Members came up with the idea of performing with their heads inside boxes, doing these amazing movements along the catwalk, and this man ended up playing the piano from inside one of these boxes. Visually it was just amazing; it was a great, great piece of art coming out of the simple fact that he just didn’t want to be seen.”
A joyful place
Tabby Rodney is a former member of Many Minds who credits the charity for supporting her through long periods of mental ill health.
“I had become totally isolated, I was just alone,” she says. “Of all the charities I’ve been involved with, it was the only one that stuck. It’s a joyful place. We deal with the really hard topics, but the space is so safe. Working towards the goal of a performance kept me motivated. I didn’t think I would ever be well enough to do the things that I loved, and they supported me through that and actually helped me to get back into university.”
After graduating, Rodney became a Many Minds Trustee. “I was just looking for any way that I could give back because they’ve done so much for me. Not only is the charity helpful to the people who are struggling, but we also make art which can change people’s minds about mental illness.
“It can make it less frightening, it can make it funny even. Many Minds has made me want to be an advocate rather than a victim.”
Many Minds has seen a 30% increase in members year on year since the pandemic, as Ware explains. “We’re finding that more people aren’t meeting criteria or thresholds for NHS treatment or they’re sat on waiting lists. GPs want places to refer people to because they’re not able to help. So therefore, we’re seeing members join us with really complex, diverse needs.”
Charities too though are feeling the effects of that perfect storm, with difficulties balancing the increased demand with tough fundraising circumstances.
We’re pushing boundaries and the impact on our members is to give them confidence, more resilience”
“Last year was quite a challenge for us in terms of fundraising, and yes, there are now more people whose needs we are trying to meet,” Ware says. “There are cuts everywhere, people are being more frugal and we hear from funders that they would love to be able to support everyone but they can’t and I understand that. For us, it’s about careful planning – if we don’t get the money, we ask how we can provide services in a different way that still serves our members?”
Reduced income has left charities needing to be creative with how they help. In response to losing access to performance space, Many Minds started organising trips to exhibitions and shows for its members. “We went to the Royal West of England Academy (RWA) and the lifts were broken that day, so we had a great time doing spontaneous mini performances around the theme of barriers to access. The RWA was intrigued and has invited us to do a performance in May as part of its These Mad Hybrids exhibition. We’re pushing boundaries, and the impact on our members is to give them confidence, more resilience, more self-worth, a bit more ownership and empowerment.”
Creating financial sustainability
Many Minds is not the only charity in the region who is finding it tough post-covid. Research from Voscur, which supports charitable and community organisations in Bristol, indicates that 40% of local community organisations were unsure last year if they would be able to continue delivering services over the next 12 months. Small charities are particularly at risk, discovering that they now need to find ways to diversify their income.
The Harbour, based in the city centre, provides counselling to those experiencing terminal illness or bereavement. During the pandemic, the team saw a significant reduction in available funding from trusts and foundations and, as a result, decided to introduce a fee for services for the first time in its 32-year history.
“It was one of the few ways we could create a sustainable financial future for the charity,” explains Natasha Davies, CEO. “We’ve tried really hard not to create financial barriers so we now have a pay-what-you-can-afford model. Currently about 15% of our clients pay the full fee for therapy, about 15% pay nothing and everyone else sits on a sliding scale in between.”
Working hand-in-hand with other community organisations is another way in which small charities can extend their impact. Davies sees the benefits of embedding the specialist therapy provided by The Harbour with other community-based services, and considers this to be a key path for the charity in the coming years. “For me, small charities can play a role in using their expertise in partnership with others. It’s not about trying to do everything ourselves, it’s about working in ways we can have the biggest impact,” she explains.
The Harbour has recently started to expand its therapy services into disadvantaged communities across Bristol. “Knowle West Health Park runs a bereavement peer support group which is well attended by people who want to share their experiences,” explains Davies. “The challenge however is when someone new joins the group, they are often at a much earlier, more raw and more complex stage of their grief process and they need a dedicated specialist space to work through that so that they aren’t overwhelmed by the group who are further along their bereavement journey. We can now provide that as complementary support.” She considers it a “transformational project” for the charity as it moves towards becoming a more community-based organisation.
Walking and talking
Changes Bristol provides community-based peer-to-peer support to those suffering from mental distress across the Greater Bristol area. Alongside support groups and telephone befriending, Changes runs a range of community services, including mindful art sessions and its popular Walk & Talk sessions.
“Walk & Talk was something we started post-covid when we were considering how we start mixing socially and talking to each other in person again, “ Alessandra Gava, Changes co-director, says. “I thought it would tail off as people got back to doing normal things, but it just constantly grows; we now run two sessions each week on a Wednesday morning in different locations across the city. It’s very natural, it really is for people who need to feel that they’re with somebody and are connected, but without any pressure to talk if you don’t want to.”
Last year, the charity collaborated with the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft to create a huge mural celebrating peer support, which brings together those with lived experience of mental ill-health and those currently experiencing mental distress to create a safe and empowering space. “It’s somebody who isn’t going to judge what you’re saying, you can say whatever is there, no explanation needed,” Gava explains. “Having that space to talk also helps people to process and reflect why they might be feeling those ways, and work through it while feeling safe. In our peer support groups, there’s no hierarchy, no professional/patient relationships, it’s a level playing field and we’re all humans. We’re all making ourselves vulnerable together.”
Helen Sermon volunteers as a Changes peer support meeting facilitator and runs a weekly session in Bedminster. A counsellor by profession, Sermon believes that the safe community which peer-to-peer support creates benefits the volunteers as well as the group members: “You can feel so isolated and lonely when dealing with your own challenges,” she says. “But when you sit with a group of people and they share their stories, you just feel held. The sharing of stories is so powerful, it’s that connection.”
Changes Bristol is taking part in The Big Give Kind Mind Campaign in May. Follow them on social media for updates or visit changesbristol.org.uk.

Immediate depression or anxiety relief tips
I mostly prefer long-lasting solutions to quick fixes, and I explain why in ‘The magic fix’. Sometimes however, you need some immediate relief from the feelings of anxiety or depression you experience. Unfortunately, everyone differs in what works best. Therefore, a lot will be trial and error, but here are some of the things that work best for me.
The worst options
It would not be fair of me to say I never tried the obvious, but not so smart options. A huge benefit for me is that I am not that prone to addiction. However, these options are still not a healthy or wise choice. Having said that, the truth is they did work for me. I therefore feel it would be unfair to present myself as some perfect person or to not give you the option to weigh the pro’s and cons yourself.
Smoking it off
The first unwise move was to smoke. Although I never smoked regularly, I did light up a cigarette whenever I would have an anxiety attack. This would only be for ones that wouldn’t go away or when my other options weren’t available. It relaxed me for that moment and it would give me just enough peace to be able to continue whatever I was doing. However, it’s known that smoking in the long term causes heightened amounts of tension in the body and therefore worsens anxiety. Therefore, it is not recommended in any way, shape or form.
Medication
The other options was medication. I used pills from the drugstore (unfortunately I don’t remember what they were precisely) that calmed down my anxiety. These were homeopathic, so they couldn’t do much harm, but instead of truly reducing my anxiety, they suppressed my panic. Therefore, they were not a good solution.
I also went to my doctor, who (too easily in my point of view) prescribed anti anxiety medication (benzodiazepines). I never took them and I would not recommend them unless there is no other option. Side effects are common and they are known to be addictive in some cases. However, knowing I had them in my bag at all times for emergency situations did help to calm me down in the first place. Knowing that there is a strong solution can prevent panic in that sense, so I was glad I had them.
Psychosomatic effects
Speaking of the effects of just knowing something works, we need to talk about placebo’s. As you guys know, I am a huge fan of using food as medicine. I would thus eat chocolate for the endorphins they release. I would also drink calming tea’s (like Rooibos and Chamomile) to calm me down. Although they do relax the body in some way and they are known to have real effect, a lot of this also was due to the placebo effect. Believing their effects probably calmed me down even more than the actual foods. Tea, in addition, also has the benefit of being warm. Holding a warm cup of tea can therefore also relax your muscles.
Maybe not
It can also work the other way around. Panic attacks often worsen when you feel that one is coming up. One of the things that increase the panic is therefore feeling your heart racing and breathing faster. Therefore, on anxious days, I would try to avoid coffee, energy drinks and sugary things. Although coffee is known to have beneficial qualities against depression (see ‘The pro’s and cons of coffee’), it had a tendency to induce panic attacks for me. Therefore, I only drink it at times I am more relaxed (like the morning). Other times can be when I know I am going to be physically active, since a higher heart rate isn’t as troublesome then.
Cleansing waters
To lower my heart rate and relax my muscles, taking a warm bath or a hot shower can also help. Although this is definitely not the most convenient option, it is always successful for me. Especially keeping my eyes closed and letting my ears be just under water works really well. You can then hear your own body, which is also known to be good for relaxation.
Hug it out
Another thing to physically relax you is by releasing endorphins through hugs. This is also not a very available option, but holding yourself can also help a little. I also noticed that wrapping a blanket tightly around me can work as well. This also works in the office if you wear a big scarf that you can wrap around you.
Meditation
I lastly use meditation techniques to slow down my breathing and relax my muscles. For instance, there is a technique that tells you to focus on one part of the body. Every time you breath out, you try to release a little bit of tension in that area. When that part is done, you go on to the next. Most of the time, I don’t even need to complete the exercise to be okay again. I would recommend to start with muscles that are easier to release for you. Then, progress towards harder areas later. Chances are that you will not have the amount of concentration needed for tougher areas. This could make you panic even more. The benefit is that it fights the tension, as well as maintaining a normal breathing rhythm. Both are important physical factors in panic attacks. Meditation also works wonders for me in times of depression. It forces me to relax my thoughts (which is often better than forcing thoughts). It also makes me able to change perspectives on a problem, so I can also see the positive side of things more easily I find.
Moving… sometimes
For me, walking works as well to prevent panic attack as to calm down after the worst is over. Partly because of the endorphins that are released, partly because it gets rid of left over energy in the body (more about this in ‘Stress: the good, the bad and the ugly’). It also works in a more psychological way, since I can literally feel like I am moving towards a solution. When I had strong panic attacks, I felt I couldn’t move, but when the worst was over and I could move again, it felt like I was able to influence the situation again and literally move to something that would help, like the shower or foods. This is why walking is beneficial for your physical panic as well for the mental component of it. In addition, walking for half an hour a day is also known to reduce depression in general and therefore, I try to walk at least half an hour each day, for instance to the supermarket.
Fitness
Fitness also can work wonders. However, this is only the case for general anxiety and depression for me. In that case, I can get out some emotion and stress by pushing, pulling and running every problem out of my system. For immediate panic attacks, it does not work that well. This is mainly because it increases my heart rate even further, which gets me to panic even more in most cases, so during attacks I try to lower my heart rate instead of increasing it (although the increase is healthier if it is done through sports).
Hobbies
There are also a few hobbies that tend to help me through difficult times, starting out by laughter. Laughing can relieve physical tension and stress and therefore, it is a good way to relax. I understand that that can seem nearly impossible and that it feels as ridiculous as telling depressed people to ‘just be happy’, but laughter is something different than being happy. For me, black, dark humor works really well when I feel bad, because it makes me put everything into perspective and it still fits my mood, whereas I don’t like to much happiness around when I am down. This way, I can actually laugh at things, which can help me to relieve some tension in order to get myself together again.
Photography
Photography is also something that I use a lot, mostly in combination with walking and it is a very accessible way for me to calm down. It literally forces me to look at things differently and focus on the beautiful parts of life, whilst also distracting me from what is happening. I find it accessible, since most employers will be fine with you taking a 5 minute walk around the block and pictures can be taken everywhere: with your phone from the sky above or from a little flowers sticking out between the sidewalk tiles. It can also give you a feeling of accomplishment and pride when taking a beautiful picture.
Baking and cooking
This feeling of accomplishment can also come from baking or cooking, which also works if I feel a situation coming up. The scent of freshly baked bread or freshly cooked food also calmed me down and a lot of foods can help with negative emotions on the long term as well, so it’s a win-win solution.
Music
Another way to relax myself to listen to music, when I feel panic I put on classical music, when I feel down I prefer faster music, like punk. Classical music helps me to breath in a healthier rhythm and it can distract me very well, whereas punk or rock helps me to feel more energized, even though it also makes me more angry. I will explain this in detail later, but I have learned to turn anger into energy, so when I feel down, it is not such a bad thing to be angry.
Writing
The last hobby that works for me will not be a shock, but it is writing. If can be writing down my thought and feelings in a dairy, but also blogging. Both work, because it distracts me, whilst also making me able to structure what is happening inside my head. Also, I tend to write about things that help me, like good foods and articles like these, so writing this helps me to feel like I am working towards a solution. In addition, when I feel depressed especially, I tend to feel useless. By writing these things, I feel like there is a possibility that I can change someone’s life for the better, which makes me feel better in return as well.
Ignoring my world
You would expect that reading would also help me, since I love to write, but I have found that when I feel depressed or when I am anxious, I don’t have enough concentration to focus on the story in the book. Therefore, listening to podcasts and watching Netflix or YouTube videos works better for me. If you want more specific tips, you can go to here for podcast tips and here for my favourite vloggers (and bloggers).
I also love this drawing app called ‘Happy Color’, where you fill in numbers with a color. You don’t need to think to much during the game, but it does look very pretty in the end and works very relaxing for me. Real life drawing probably also works, but since I can’t draw that nicely, I prefer this app.
Support
Last, but by no means least, is social support in the times of need. Like mentioned before, hugs work wonders physically, but also just to be talked through tough times can help. Therefore, don’t be afraid to reach out to friend and family members you trust to talk to. What also works for me is to not even say I feel bad, but just call to catch up. The voice of people I love can calm me down, even if it isn’t related to what is going on at that moment.
Neutral grounds
When you feel like you have no friends or family you can call, there are also services that can help in time of need. When it gets so bad you feel endangered by it, almost every country has a suicide hotline you can call. It’s good to put it as a contact in your phone. You will likely not want to search for it online when you feel that badly, so be prepared. You’ll hopefully never use it, but just to be sure.
There are also services that are more low-key. In the Netherlands, we have Sensoor for instance. It is a service where you can call, just to talk about what is going on. People at the other end of the line have had training in how to help you get through this. There is nothing you can say that will make them think you are weird for feeling that way. In addition, it’s anonymous, so there are no consequences to anything you say and they have no idea who you are, so everything is private.
To conclude
I hope these tips can help you as well as they have helped me. Finding out what works for you in what situations can be a long, exhaustive journey. However, everything that helps, even if it is only for a little bit, is a step in the right direction. Finding these tricks can also help you to feel more secure before, since you don’t feel as helpless anymore.
Please keep in mind that I am not a therapist whatsoever. I’m just a girl sharing her personal experiences, so if you have depressive thoughts, you tend to harm yourself, or you have anxiety or panic attacks, please go to your doctor or a therapist to find help. These people are way more experienced and they have science on their side. That’s thus your best bet to heal as quickly and safely as possible.
Good luck with everything you are going through. If you have tips to share, please do in the comments below. You can also send them personally to me, so I can include them in this article (anonymously if you want).
Lots of love,
Lisa

Sammanfattning
The aim of our project
was to explore the effectiveness of a
web-based mindfulness program for
families living with mental and/or
somatic illness by the means of a randomized controlled study including
an experiment group (n=196) and a
wait-list control (WLC) group (n=202)
(Stjernswärd & Hansson, 2018). The
test period for the 8-week program
was set to 10 weeks, with pre– and post-test assessments, and a 3-month
follow-up. After the randomization
process, the wait-list participants
were informed that their test period
would start by mid-August (2017).
By mid-August, we emailed registration information to all WLC participants, which enabled them to access
the mindfulness program and to start
practicing. Thereafter, weekly email
reminders were sent to the participants, in a similar fashion as we did
for the experiment group. By the third
week into the test period, however,
we realized that something hadn’t
gone as planned…

Abstract
Objective: This randomized controlled trial feasibility study aimed to investigate a single‐session mindset intervention, incorporating third‐wave constructs, within educational settings as a universal tool to promote emotional wellbeing.
Method: Eighty adolescents (age M = 16.63) were randomized to the 30‐min computer intervention or a usual curriculum waitlist. Outcome measures were administered at baseline, posttreatment, 4‐week, and 8‐week follow‐ups.
Results: Student feedback about the intervention and trial procedure was mainly positive. Participants engaged with the intervention content and data were suggestive of possible small–large intervention effects for targeted mechanisms of personality mindset and psychological flexibility. Between‐group differences over time across wellbeing outcomes of self‐compassion, self‐esteem, low mood, and anxiety also yielded some promising results, though assessments of reliable change were less clear. No harm was reported.
Conclusions: The intervention and study design were deemed feasible, though areas for improvement were noted. A full‐scale trial to determine effectiveness is warranted.

Natural Ways to Improve Mental Health
If you are having mental health issues, it may seem intimidating to use medication to resolve them. However, here are some natural solutions that are guaranteed to help make you feel better.
Regulate Your Hormones
Particularly for women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome, more commonly known as PMS, hormone regulation can make a drastic difference in your mental health. Women are significantly more at risk for suffering from depression and anxiety than men, and this can be attributed to the hormone imbalances that they experience during the four weeks of the menstrual cycle. Common symptoms include depression and anxiety, as well as mood swings. However, there are many ways that you can regulate your hormones naturally, like consuming enough protein, eating the right amount of food at every meal, and exercising on a regular basis. You will feel much better whenever your next period comes around.
Improve Nutrient Intake
A balanced diet is extremely beneficial in regulating your mental health. For example, if you are low in nutrients such as iron and Vitamin B12, you can suffer from symptoms like mood swings and depression. You can eat foods that are rich in nutrients, and you can also supplement them with concentrated capsules or even patches, such as Le-Vel Thrive, which provide a steady flow of essential vitamins and minerals throughout the day. It is important to meet with your physician or dietitian to determine what your nutrient levels are in order to see whether or not supplements are necessary, or if you can get enough with making modifications to your regular diet.
Exercise Regularly
Exercise releases the vital chemicals of dopamine and serotonin, which are key players in the arena of your mental health ad well being. Once you develop an exercise routine and feel more confident in yourself and your abilities, it will begin to raise your self-esteem, a large component of your mental health overall. Exercise is great for anxiety because it can help reduce muscle tension and ease the amount of stress through the release of good hormones and chemicals. Even conditions such as ADHD have been shown to benefit from exercise, as it can help to improve focus as well as increase productivity. For those suffering from conditions such as trauma, exercise serves as a healthy distraction, while also helping your body feel much better and healthier in the process.
Practice Self-Care
Self-care is the term for a wide spectrum of activities and lifestyle changes which will help you to feel better overall and increase your mental health. One way to practice self-care is to establish a sleeping schedule that fits with your work or school hours, and allows you to get enough shut eye to be able to fully function every day. You can also take an occasional mental health day, have a hobby like reading fiction or needlework, and even take yourself and your friends to a spa for a day or weekend. Develop habits that allow you to feel better in the long-term, and perform them regularly if you need to destress.
Learn Mindfulness
Mindfulness has become extremely popular over the past few decades. It is often introduced and practiced with meditation, as the techniques are very similar. There are many ways to incorporate mindfulness into your day in order to benefit for your mental health. Try breathing in a pattern when you begin to feel stressed or anxious. You should also learn how to be present, so that you are not able to ruminate as much on things that are preoccupying your mind. Even with a few minutes of mindfulness every day, you can change your perception on many factors in your life from negative to positive.
You do not need to immediately turn to a psychiatrist or medication if you are struggling with your mental health. With these tips, you are guaranteed to see improvements and as a result, a much better lifestyle as well.

Mental Capacity, DoLS and Advocacy
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 is there to empower people to make decisions and to support them when their capacity for making decisions is impaired. It means that you have to look at what the individual needs, and it is specific to a decision at a specific time. It’s not a blanket judgement over their mental capacity.
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 came into force during 2007. The law is designed to protect and restore power to those vulnerable people who lack capacity. The law also supports those, over the age of 18, who have capacity and choose to plan for their future. It applies to everyone working in health and social care who is involved in the care, treatment and support of people aged 16+.
At the heart of the law in terms of concepts and values are five ‘statutory principles’
1. Presume capacity
2. People may need support
3. People can take unwise decisions
4. Best interest decisions should be made on behalf of the person
5. When you make that decision it should be the less restrictive option
Consider these five principles as the benchmark. They should be used to underpin all acts done and decisions taken in relation to those who lack capacity.
Mental Capacity Act Overview and the National Mental Health Capacity Forum
The film below from Social Care Institute for Excellence explains the Mental Capacity Act and how it can protect the right to make choices. It's an introduction to the Act for people who need it, staff, carers and others.
Using the Mental Capacity Act
This video from Social Care Institute for Excellence explains the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and how it can protect the right to make choices. For people who need the MCA, their carers, and others. The film includes people who lack capacity, discussing it.
Mental Capacity Law and Policy - The Key Points
This video from Alex Ruck Keene of 39 Essex Chambers. Alex has been recognised for several years as one of the leading experts in the Mental Capacity Act 2005. In this video Alex explains the Mental Capacity Act 2005, what it is, how it is applied and links to relevant case law.
The Mental Capacity Toolkit
The Mental Capacity Toolkit produced by the Bournemouth University is to help support health and social care professionals working with individuals whose decision-making capacity is limited, fluctuating, absent or compromised. Demographic changes mean there are increasing numbers of people living with conditions which may impact on their decision-making capacity, and as such it is vital that professionals are confident in their understanding use of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This tool brings together information from a range of professionals working in the field of mental capacity to provide a comprehensive guide to practice.

Where a person lacks mental capacity to consent to care and treatment (including restraint and Deprivation of liberty), and there are no other legal provisions for decisions to be made on their behalf, decisions regarding care and treatment must be made under Best Interests principles.
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 contains what is known generally as the ‘best interests checklist’. It is important to note that this is a non-exhaustive list and that not all the factors will be equally as relevant to all types of decisions, but they must all be considered each time, even if only to disregard them as not relevant to that case.
Understanding Mental Capacity from the The Open University
This free course, Understanding mental capacity, describes the principles and criteria underpinning the assessment of mental capacity and decision making in the UK. The course begins by looking at what mental capacity – and the lack of it – means.
You will be introduced to various groups of people who are more likely to lack mental capacity, but you will also learn why it is relevant to everyone.
You will look at what can be done to help someone to make a decision themselves and the principles and steps that enable people to judge, fairly, whether someone has capacity or not.
You will be introduced to the legislation in the UK and will see how it supports and protects people who may lack capacity.
The course will appeal to those who support people aged 16 or over and who have to make decisions in order to address the variety of interpretation and inconsistent application of services in everyday provision. It will explain the law and how it is applied in a practical way for those making important decisions about other’s lives, such as health and social care staff, police, banks and insurance industry workers, and retailers.
Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards
The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) provide additional protection for the most vulnerable people living in residential homes, nursing homes, hospital environments and supported housing through the use of a rigorous, standardised assessment and authorisation process. They aim to protect those who lack capacity to consent to arrangements made in relation to their care and/or treatment, but who need to be deprived of their liberty in their own best interest to protect them from harm. They also offer the person concerned the rights:
- To challenge the decision to deprive them of their liberty;
- For a representative to act for them and protect their interests; and
- The right to have their status reviewed and monitored on a regular basis.
DoLS help ensure that an institution only restricts liberty safely and correctly and only when all other less restrictive options have been explored. The Local Authority manages this process and reports to the local Safeguarding Adults Board. In March 2014 the Supreme Court judgement in the case of “P v Cheshire West and Chester Council and another” and “P and Q v Surrey County Council” lowered the threshold for a deprivation and significantly widened the scope of the Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards themselves.
Lewisham Council's Adult Social Care has a dedicated Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards web page that provides general information, links to other sources of information and contact details for the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Team.
Independent Advocacy Under the Care Act 2014
Advocacy and the duty to involve
Local authorities must involve people in decisions made about them and their care and support. No matter how complex a person’s needs, local authorities are required to help people express their wishes and feelings, support them in weighing up their options, and assist them in making their own decisions.
When does the advocacy duty apply?
The advocacy duty will apply from the point of first contact with the local authority and at any subsequent stage of the assessment, planning, care review, safeguarding enquiry or safeguarding adult review. If it appears to the authority that a person has care and support needs, then a judgement must be made as to whether that person has substantial difficulty in being involved and if there is an appropriate individual to support them. An independent advocate must be appointed to support and represent the person for the purpose of assisting their involvement if these two conditions are met and if the individual is required to take part in one or more of the following processes described in the Care Act:
- A needs assessment
- A carer’s assessment
- The preparation of a care and support or support plan
- A review of a care and support or support plan
- A child’s needs assessment
- A child’s carer’s assessment
- A young carer’s assessment
- A safeguarding enquiry
- A safeguarding adult review
- An appeal against a local authority decision under Part 1 of the Care Act (subject to further consultation)
Judging ‘substantial difficulty’
Local authorities must consider, for each person, whether they are likely to have substantial difficulty in engaging with the care and support process. The Care Act defines four areas where people may experience substantial difficulty. These are:
- Understanding relevant information
- Retaining information
- Using or weighing information
- Communicating views, wishes and feelings
Supported decision-making toolkit for people with communication difficulties
Practicable steps for people with communication difficulties
LSAB 7 Minute Briefing - Advocacy
Who is an ‘appropriate individual’ to assist a person’s involvement?
If the person being supported doesn’t want that person to support them, that’s not an appropriate adult. You can’t force an advocate on someone.
Co-production workshop participant
Local authorities must consider whether there is an appropriate individual who can facilitate a person’s involvement in the assessment, planning or review process, and this includes four specific considerations. The appropriate individual cannot be:
- Already providing care or treatment to the person in a professional capacity or on a paid basis
- Someone the person does not want to support them
- Someone who is unlikely to be able to, or available to, adequately support the person’s involvement
- Someone implicated in an enquiry into abuse or neglect or who has been judged by a safeguarding adult review to have failed to prevent abuse or neglect
The role of an ‘appropriate individual’ under the Care Act is potentially fuller and more demanding than that of an individual with whom it is ‘appropriate to consult’ under the Mental Capacity Act (MCA). Under the Care Act the appropriate individual’s role is to facilitate the person’s involvement, not merely to consult them and make decisions on their behalf.
Information and advice
The Care Act places a duty on local authorities to ensure that all adults in their area have access to information and advice on care and support, and to keep them safe from abuse and neglect. Prior to making contact with the local authority, there may be some people who require independent advocacy to access information and advice.
Continuing health care
The advocacy duty in the Care Act applies equally to those people whose needs are being jointly accessed by the NHS and the local authority, or where a package of support is planned, commissioned or funded by both a local authority and a clinical commissioning group (CCG), known as a ‘joint package’ of care.
Independence
The independence of the service is an important consideration for all commissioners. For services to be meaningful and acceptable to those they are designed to support they must have the confidence of individuals, carers and the public.
Prisoners
From April 2015 local authorities will also be responsible for assessing and meeting the social care needs of adult prisoners (not just on discharge from prison but also while in custody). All prisoners will be treated as if they are resident in that area for the purposes of the Care Act and for as long as they reside in that prison. Prisoners will be entitled to the support of an independent advocate in the same circumstances as people in the community.
Social Care and Health have produced this video in British Sign Language on the provision of Independent Advocacy under the Care Act 2014.

When people are burned out at work, low energy, indifference, lack of excitement about tasks, workplace pessimism, and cynicism about the future take over. The World Health Organization also warns that when people are burned out, they start to feel unaccomplished. According to the American Psychological Association, they suffer—and so do the innovative ideas and productivity they might otherwise bring to the table.
In an economy where productivity is at a premium, employees face increased workplace stress, which can lead to burnout if not managed in healthy ways. Using information from leading business schools, and academic research, Wysa compiled five useful tips to help manage burnout at work.
A survey commissioned by management consulting firm Deloitte of 1,000 full-time U.S.-based professionals found that 91% of respondents experienced unmanageable stress levels and frustration at work. And 77% of respondents reported suffering from burnout at their jobs. Most said they’ve encountered burnout more than once at their workplace.
And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which sent stress and burnout rates skyrocketing, according to the American Psychological Association.
Burnout is a serious condition with real health consequences. The APA reports that employees suffering from burnout are at nearly triple the normal risk of experiencing depressive disorders and have a 57% higher risk of being absent from work, an 84% higher risk of suffering from Type 2 diabetes, and a 40% higher risk of experiencing hypertension.
Integris Health, a nonprofit health care system in Oklahoma, notes the condition does not spontaneously appear but occurs and develops over five stages. It starts with the “honeymoon phase,” when people begin their jobs or a new project with lots of energy and optimism. However, no honeymoon lasts forever, and stressful periods come as responsibilities build up, moving to the stress phase.
The stress phase turns chronic as intense stress becomes a fixture in the workplace. Prolonged chronic stress finally leads to the burnout and habitual burnout phases, where burnout becomes chronic.
While stress can lead to burnout, many symptoms of burnout and stress are opposites, according to the Midwestern University Counseling Center. Stress is characterized by over-engagement, overreactions, and feelings of urgency, while burnout, according to the center, involves disengagement, emotional detachment, and feelings of hopelessness.
Unaddressed burnout can lead to problems in personal relationships as well as the workplace, depression, substance abuse, and, in some cases, self-harm and suicide. Licensed medical professionals can help those dealing with burnout overcome it and avoid it in the future.
Continue reading for five strategies that can help you manage burnout.
A WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH BAROMETER
Take care of anxiety and depression in the workplace with this employee mental health assessment.
Connect with friends in your industry
Friendship and networking with people in the workplace and across your industry can help manage and reduce the risk of burnout.
According to a 2021 study from team-building firm Wildgoose, 57% of respondents reported having a good friend at work made their job “more enjoyable.” Harvard Business Review notes friendships and workplace connections improve the quality of workplace recommendations and job satisfaction and reduce turnover.
Making connections within your industry can also help build support systems for encouragement, mentorship, and advice. Networking can also help identify common problems within and across workplaces and may yield ideas for solving them.
Approach your boss
If you can, talk to your manager about feeling burned out. See if tasks can be delayed, shared with someone else, automated, or removed from your plate. Knowing what is stressing employees and burning them out can help managers make the necessary adjustments. Bosses should work to create a stigma-free environment where workers feel comfortable enough to be honest about stress and burnout concerns.
Seemingly small acts, like taking sick days for mental health, something a 2022 report by Wysa says American workers tend to avoid doing, can start an honest conversation about burnout concerns. According to the report, which surveyed more than 1,000 American employees, 40% of employees screened positive for symptoms of depression and anxiety, yet majority were more likely to misrepresent it as a physical illness or go to work anyway.
As Ron Carucci wrote in Harvard Business Review, a key hurdle is a reluctance to be considered needy. Open communication is critical to ensure managers understand behavior by burned-out employees as intentional sabotage rather than exhaustion and overload.
Because some 70% of employees avoid difficult conversations with their boss, both parties can foster open communication by regularly practicing active listening and choosing direct, specific honesty in interactions.

Set a defined schedule
Burnout can come from unclear or blended boundaries between work and life. Setting boundaries is a potent form of self-help, according to Psychology Today, which ensures your needs are met and your time isn’t abused.
Boundaries limit the ability of work—or coworkers—to intrude on other key parts of life, like family time, exercise, and recreation. Schedules delineating time for family, work, leisure, and self-reflection are valuable tools for setting boundaries. Schedules also help with avoiding procrastination, which can lead to stress before deadlines.
Perfectionists and people who are often afraid to say no may benefit from boundaries even more than others, finding help setting limits around people-pleasing or taking on more tasks than they can handle.
Take small breaks during the day
In general, as the workday progresses, employee productivity gradually decreases due to fatigue. That can increase stress, especially about finishing key tasks before the day’s end.
Breaks help refresh workers and keep them more productive throughout the day, according to Harvard Business Review, which reduces the likelihood of burnout. Breaks don’t have to be very long to be effective—even microbreaks with a stretch or a short walk can make a difference.
According to Michigan State University, taking breaks during work helps improve decision-making and focus. Breaks also help reduce the risk of sleep disorders and cardiovascular disease by helping manage stress.
THE IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYEE MENTAL HEALTH
Read an astounding report that makes a case for supporting employee mental health in your workplace.
Create space for fun and self-care
According to the Midwestern University Counseling Center, one of the ways one can prevent burnout is adequate self-care. This could include resting properly, eating a healthy diet, and setting time aside daily for leisure and relaxation. Traveling and vacations can also help take your mind off work-related stress.
Self-care and fun activities help stimulate positive emotions, which are essential to avoid falling into burnout. Self-care must also go hand in hand with setting boundaries and planning a schedule to ensure that spending time in self-care doesn’t lead to neglect or running away from challenging tasks.

Chief Crazy Brother, our store display manager, will assist Jojo in facilitating a six-week mental-health series in aisle 6-and-3/5 of Jojo's Discount Dollar Store.
"During our daily early-morning staff meeting, Jojo expressed his opinion regarding the mental state of today's society. He concluded that our society is at the brink of insanity. He noticed the despair and confusion in the faces of his employees and customers who looked like the man in that creepy Edvard Munch painting titled 'The Scream.'
"To change the picture of doom and gloom in the Ghetto Science Community, Jojo called on psychologist Judy McBride and her psychoanalyst team to conduct weekly therapy sessions for customers and staff mentally affected by reality television, radio, film, social media, etc. Also, for individuals who suffered emotional trauma due to driving while black, brown or anything else, come receive the help you need.
"After each mental-health session, Sister Encouragement, co-host of the 'Rev.

How well do you really know yourself?
Also known simply as insight therapy, this form of mental health psychotherapy treatment is a client-centered, therapeutic talk treatment that guides an individual toward developing an improved understanding of their inner workings.
During each session, the individual receiving counseling recalls situations from their life.
Let’s dive right into it.
The Main Goal Of Insight Oriented Therapy
Insight: The ability to acquire a new accurate awareness or learning about a thing or a person.
Insight-oriented psychotherapy helps clients understand how events in their past are negatively influencing their current thoughts, feelings, and unconscious behaviours. In this way, it helps to clarify your motivations.
Sigmund Freud began using insight therapy back in the early 1900s at the Psychoanalyst School of Psychology. He developed insight therapy using psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy.
Some of the techniques for use in this therapy are:
- Free analysis
- Dream association
- Analyzing resistance
- Analyzing transference
- interpretation
Insight-oriented psychotherapy is traditional “talk” therapy that delves into how life events, desires, past and current relationships, and unconscious conflicts affect your feelings and contribute to anxiety.
It can involve several different types of treatment as detailed below.
In order for insight oriented psychotherapy to help an individual, a relaxed and trusting rapport must be established between therapist and client. This allows for a therapeutic relationship.
Otherwise, the client will be guarded about their deepest and most troubling issues, thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
During treatment, you and your therapist will be focused to determine compromises you make to defend yourself against painful thoughts or emotions, then examine how they relate to your current distress.
While the duration of time with insight-oriented therapy can be open-ended, a variation called brief dynamic therapy or psychodynamic therapy, that is limited to a specific period (generally 12 to 20 weeks) is a therapeutic approach to use targeting generalized anxiety.
The way Insight-oriented psychotherapy works is with the assumption that the better you know yourself, the better you will function. It shows you that you have an internal world, and it interprets how that internal world operates.
It’s a process used to give you the awareness to help you understand your emotional process for coping with many various life experiences. You will learn practical ways and effective skills to use to overcome emotional and behavioral disorders.
Most of all, it gives you freedom.
When you have freedom, you have power. A greater range of choices are available to you in any given situation or experience.
This awareness allows you to break free from old habits and patterns of behavior. It lets you choose new ones as you see fit.
The goal of insight-oriented therapy is freedom at the deepest level.
An Example Of Insight Therapy
In one example of insight-oriented psychotherapy in a specific case report, a nearly middle aged woman was having difficulty with her cancer treatment.
The therapist found that the treatments themselves were not the issue. This cancer patient was confusing her past, tumultuous and emotional family relationships with her current ones. Specifically speaking, with the doctors who were supposed to be treating her.
“Associations to the follow-up pelvic exams and second-look surgery (which was negative) reminded her of her father’s violation and denigration of women. She felt as though she was subjecting herself to yet another uncaring man who was out to hurt and humiliate a woman.”
It was ultimately these realizations that this patient came to, in her insight-oriented sessions, that allowed her to continue the cancer treatment.
The Three Main Insight Therapies
Psychologists normally draw on one or more theories of psychotherapy.
Any theory of insight therapy serves as a roadmap for psychologists. It guides them in the process of understanding clients and their problems, and developing effective practical solutions.
- Psychoanalysis
While psychoanalysis is closely identified with Sigmund Freud, it has been extended and modified since his early formulations with a briefer analytic therapy. In part, through the work of Franz Gabriel Alexander, M.D., and Thomas Morton French, M.D., they developed Psychodynamic Therapy.
This type of insight oriented therapy delves deep into a client’s life experience and current unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours, believed to be the current cause of the client’s problems.
The therapist would then direct the patient to methods of avoiding any negative thought patterns and directing them towards more beneficial ways of thinking. By gaining a different perspective about their past, the patient may alleviate unconscious disorders in the present.
- Humanistic Therapy
This approach emphasizes a client’s capacity to make rational choices and develop to their maximum potential. Concern and respect for others are also important themes.
Humanistic philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Buber and Søren Kierkegaard influenced this type of therapy.
Three types of humanistic therapy are especially influential to humanistic therapy.
- Client-Centered Therapy rejects the idea of therapists as authorities on their clients’ inner experiences. Instead, therapists help clients change by emphasizing their concern, care and interest for their emotional well being.
- Gestalt Therapy is based on what it calls “organismic holism,” the importance of being aware of the here and now and accepting responsibility for yourself.
- Existential Therapy focuses on free will, self-determination and the search for meaning.
3. Integrative or Holistic Therapy
Integrative or holistic therapists don’t tie themselves to any one approach. Instead, they blend elements from different approaches and tailor their treatment according to each client’s needs.
Is CBT Insight Oriented?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used as an extension of Insight Oriented Psychotherapy.
Insight-oriented therapy sessions tend to be based on the idea that improving someone’s skills for understanding themselves, their actions, or the world around them, will promote positive change in their life.
CBT, developed by Aaron Beck, confronts your behavior disorders in life head-on and helps you learn ways to change them.
For example, someone comes into the office to focus on depression. Over the course of several sessions, they realize that they always feel worse while working than anywhere else. Empowered by this realization, they find a new job, and their symptoms of depression diminishes.
Whereas, cognitive-behavioral therapies tend to be less concerned with meaning or insight, and more oriented toward the beliefs, thoughts, and behavioral issues that are present in the moment.
So perhaps with the hypothetical depressed client, it is found they hold some deeply negative beliefs based on their ability to perform well in a job they enjoy.
A likely scenario for this client is that time is spent first talking about the depression and the job, to learn as much as we can about how they interconnect.
The next step would be to challenge those beliefs rationally by testing whether they also apply to a hobby or volunteer activity they enjoy.
The realization that they do interconnect stimulates a desire for change. The client is held back by some negative beliefs about themself, as well as a high degree of anxiety about the new behaviors they’ll have to access, to change things.
In practice, both CBT and insight-oriented therapy are working together to some extent, whether or not the therapist may particularly identify with either of those broad therapies.
Therapy sessions may move between insight-oriented work, which helps to better understand whether this client’s existing approaches have been useful thus far. Then weaving in a more cognitive behavioral-oriented work, for support in finding replacement perspectives that work and are more beneficial.
The Benefits Of Insight-Oriented Psychotherapy
Insight-oriented psychotherapy can help clients understand the reasons for many behaviors including:
- Low self-esteem
- Insecurities
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance abuse
- Eating disorders
- Mood disorders
- Social and family relationships, etc.
There are four stages of focused awareness. Each one is just as important as the others, going through all four stages helps a client gain the awareness needed to improve their mental health.
- Preparation: First, prepare to solve the problem by looking at all of the aspects. For example, if you are having trouble with your self-esteem, you may want to look at what may have happened.
Possibly a social setting, in the past that caused this. Some common triggers of low self-esteem include childhood abuse, bullying, neglect, and violence at home.
- Incubation: After you best determine what may be the cause, you will need plenty of time to think about the problem. This period will include best possible solutions, brainstorming, what the goal is, and trial and error.
- Illumination: This is the lightbulb moment. Like the lightbulb above a character’s head in various cartoons, it’s the “Aha” feeling when you realize the solution to the problem and wonder why you haven’t seen it before.
- Verification: Even though you figured out the solution, this last step is necessary to know that your answer is correct. Especially important for a person with low self-esteem because they often tend to doubt themselves. Verification is so important for the client because they experience the results for themselves and they can finally say, “I am enough”
Psychotherapy can benefit your mental health by:
- Creating a better self awareness encouraging skills for a growth orientation and an active attitude toward life
- Giving you an appreciation of the importance of genuineness, unconditional regard, acceptance and empathy in dealing with others in a social setting or work environment
- Learning to stifle or mute the critical voices in your head
- Taking more responsibility for your own growth and life experiences, emphasizing a feeling of self empowerment
- Recognizing the importance of exploring your feelings and sharing them with others
Insight Oriented Therapy Vs. Psychodynamic Therapy
Since Insight oriented psychotherapy is an indirect type of therapy letting you do most of the talking rather than having the therapist ask the questions and lead you to where they believe the issues might be.
Insight therapy is more like a friendly chat rather than a formal session, this can make many people often feel more comfortable. Even though it is still a form of psychotherapy, it lets you discover how your past influences your current actions and unconscious patterns of behavior.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a form of depth psychology. It is used as one of the insight oriented therapies.
It’s effective primary focus is to reveal the unconscious behaviors within the mind of an individual in an effort to best alleviate psychic tension or stress.
The interpretation of mental and emotional processes is involved, rather than focusing on behavior or problems because those are just the symptoms. A psychodynamic therapist will attempt to help clients find patterns in their emotions, thoughts, and beliefs in order to gain insight into their current behaviour.
Essentially, the experience of a therapist or counsellor can help people find the meaning in their suffering, so they can make different choices leading to greater freedom.
“If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.” – Victor Frankl (1962)
By confronting our own vulnerabilities, we’re made aware of people and things that are truly important, rather than focusing on the bars in our mind that confine us.

Depression has a far larger impact on ‘presenteeism’ or reduced productivity while at work, than on absenteeism, Yale School of Medicine researchers report in a new study published in the May issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
“The findings suggest that depression has a substantial and persistent association with decreased workplace productivity, an impact that may be underestimated when looking only at days missed from work,” said Benjamin Druss, M.D., lead author on the study and assistant professor of psychiatry and in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale School of Medicine.
Druss said a second important finding is that depressed workers who report poor quality of health care are most likely to have persistent depressive symptoms and decreased work productivity.
“The findings support a growing body of literature demonstrating the impact of depression in the workplace,” said Druss. “In our study, the impact of depression on function at work was substantially higher than its association with missed days at work, suggesting that previous reports of absenteeism may represent only a small fraction of the cost of depression in the workplace.”
“The costs are greatest in depressed individuals with problems in obtaining good health care,” Druss adds. “This lends support to the notion that improving patient care can have an impact on improving not only clinical outcomes, but also workplace productivity.”
Using two longitudinal surveys given in 1993 and 1995, Druss and his team employees of three major U.S. corporations. At a two-year follow-up, the team found that employees with chronic depressive symptoms reported a twofold increase in missed workdays and a more than sevenfold greater odds of decreased workplace effectiveness, compared to those without depressive symptoms.
Among employees with depression at the start of the study, problems with health care predicted a 34 percent increase in likelihood of persistent depression, and a 66 percent increase in likelihood of problems with work productivity two years later.
To assess satisfaction with health care, respondents to the 1993 survey were asked questions addressing 13 separate domains of health care satisfaction-six domains pertaining to the provision of clinical care and seven related to plan administration. Ten to 20 percent of the sample reported dissatisfaction with each of the domains of care.
To assess workplace performance, respondents to the 1995 survey were asked whether they had missed one or more days from work because of health problems in the previous four weeks. They were also asked to rate the impact of their health on effectiveness at work, on a scale of zero (unable to accomplish anything due to health) to 100 (at best, with no health problems).
Other researchers on the study included Mark Schlesinger, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale and Harris Allen, of Harris Allen Associates. The study was funded with grants from the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

Is the paleo diet helpful for mental health? With advocates of this popular diet reporting a wide range of health improvements from less depression and anxiety to enjoying more energy, less kilos, better cardio health and improved digestion, the answer seems to be yes.
Here we take a look at what makes up the paleo diet and how it may help with mental health issues.
What is the paleo diet?
Whilst there are a few variations of this diet the core is based on a nutrient-dense, wholefood diet of meat, seafood, eggs, fruit, veggies, nuts and seeds. Throw in some fermented veggies, bone broth, herbs and spices and you have a good base.
“But what about all those saturated fats?”, I hear you wondering. Many paleo supporters eat pasture-fed and/or organically reared animal meats as these are considered to be healthier than their conventionally grown counterparts. These saturated fats are not quite the demon that they have been portrayed for the last few decades. And it is all about balance; most paleo consumers will have good serves of fresh veggies with many meals and avoid processed, denatured foods.
By default, the paleo diet excludes foods that are known to cause inflammation or damage in the body such as all grains, legumes, and dairy along with all processed and refined foods. Many of these foods are deficient in a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as lacking other vital nutrients and quality fats.
Sometimes this diet is referred to as the ancestral diet or the hunter/gatherer diet. Almost ¾ of the worldwide hunter-gatherer communities derived over 50% of their energy needs from animal foods.
How the paleo diet may help mental health disorders
Building blocks of neurotransmitters
- Animal foods are rich in quality protein, which is made up of various essential amino acids that form the building blocks of key neurotransmitters such as dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin and melatonin; these play pivotal roles in mood and sleep.
Higher levels of cofactors
- This wholefood way of eating potentially provides an abundance of vitamins and minerals; in particular, zinc, magnesium, B6, iron, and Vitamin C which are critical to making those brain chemicals.
Source of quality essential fatty acids
- There is usually a good quota of quality fats in a paleo diet which are crucial for good brain function and healthy brain cells. The brain is more than 60% fat, hence eating the good fats and avoiding adulterated, processed fats such as those found in baked goods and fast foods is supportive for mood disorders.
No refined carbohydrates
- Avoiding refined carbohydrates such as processed cereals, baked goods and the like helps the body better manage blood sugar levels which otherwise may impact your moods and energy levels. Some foods such as gluten, found in all wheat products, can have detrimental effects on brain function as well as elsewhere in the body.
Inclusion of fermented foods
- These use to be included in the diets of many traditional cultures. Not surprising really when you consider the beneficial bacteria and the higher density of many nutrients. Many paleo diets include sauerkraut which may have a whopping 20 times the amount of vitamin C than raw cabbage!
- Due to the gut-brain link, having diverse and healthy bacteria in your gut may have a positive impact on your brain health.
Nutrients to support liver detoxification
- A paleo diet is generally dense in the nutrients needed to support your liver detoxification pathways. When your liver is functioning better there may be a knock-on effect on the health of your brain as toxins are cleared from your body and more nutrients are available to make those uplifting brain chemicals.
Some words of caution
Whilst paleo diets may be nutrient-dense, some people have issues metabolising oxalates, a compound found in many wholefoods such as spinach, almonds, berries and sweet potatoes which are often popular staples of a paleo diet. Think spinach and blueberry smoothie with almond milk, almond cake and sweet potato wedges and you have quite an oxalate hit.
Having a compromised gut may contribute to oxalate toxicity which may manifest as kidney stones or calcium deposits in soft tissues, muscles, joints and even the eyes.
A paleo diet may help some people and their mental health issues but of course there is no one diet that fits all. It’s about finding out what works for you.

Interdisciplinary perspectives on digital technologies for global mental health.
Kuhn E., Saleem M., Klein T., Köhler C., Fuhr DC., Lahutina S., Minarik A., Musesengwa R., Neubauer K., Olisaeloka L., Osei F., Reinhold AS., Singh I., Spanhel K., Thomas N., Hendl T., Kellmeyer P., Böge K.
Digital Mental Health Technologies (DMHTs) have the potential to close treatment gaps in settings where mental healthcare is scarce or even inaccessible. For this, DMHTs need to be affordable, evidence-based, justice-oriented, user-friendly, and embedded in a functioning digital infrastructure. This viewpoint discusses areas crucial for future developments of DMHTs. Drawing back on interdisciplinary scholarship, questions of health equity, consumer-, patient- and developer-oriented legislation, and requirements for successful implementation of technologies across the globe are discussed. Economic considerations and policy implications complement these aspects. We discuss the need for cultural adaptation specific to the context of use and point to several benefits as well as pitfalls of DMHTs for research and healthcare provision. Nonetheless, to circumvent technology-driven solutionism, the development and implementation of DMHTs require a holistic, multi-sectoral, and participatory approach.

1. Introduction
The study of personal development and growth has assumed significant importance among academicians, researchers, educators, and other stakeholders due to rising levels of concerns regarding quality of life, health, and happiness among people across various walks of life. Vast literature is available in the area, albeit in different forms. The goals of ensuring personal growth and self-actualization, and the journey of accomplishment and fulfillment are shared largely by many. We believe that human beings can derive satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment by emerging their best. This assumes critical importance against the backdrop of complex challenges being faced by individuals in the contemporary world. With increased materialism and gradual erosion of the value system, it is becoming all the more important to re-emphasize and redevelop the human potential, including high-order thinking. We believe that it is not only important for the individual who has a need for growth, happiness, and quality of life, but also for the people around because a happy and satisfied person helps in improving the quality of life, happiness, and comfort of others. Although the importance of personal growth and development due to its significant contribution to self-actualization, fulfillment, and quality of life was recognized long ago, the same have been attributed to limited scope in the recent past. The current economic, socio-cultural environment has drowned the high-pitched desire for self-actualization and personal growth. The very high education programs have taken upon the objectives of imparting knowledge through the study of discipline, cultivating values, ethics, and mind subordination in the individual minds. The opportunity for personal fulfillment gets easily marginalized as career realization gets a more desirable stamp that can get positioned as the person of interest. People are being pushed and pulled in different directions and have very little time to focus on their personal growth, which can add significant values in their lives. In their struggle to create spaces for themselves, people are searching for some direction, confidence, and intuition that can guide them to assume control and lead a good and healthier life. No credible process is available to facilitate the discovery of the purpose of life and guidance for personal growth.
2. Theoretical Framework
In this study, it is of prime importance to discuss the concepts of vision, perception, personal growth, and development as well as the linkage of these concepts. The discussion will focus on individual vision, perception, personal growth, and development. However, as an organization is made up of individuals, a person's organizational vision and perception also contribute and serve as a fundamental cornerstone of developing an innovative organization. Part two is designed for a scholarly discussion focusing on the theoretical foundation of this study to develop conceptual understanding of key concepts that create a hinge between knowledge and practice. Enhancing individual personal growth and development is being pursued with tenacity to challenge the world of ever-growing innovation. The process of fueling creativity spurs the human race in terms of reaching immense heights of living. A person's success reflects the impact of his or her personal beliefs and creativity. The pursuit of excellence involves self-reflection, intrinsic motivation, persistence, and a vision of success. Personal growth and development is an area of particular importance now and accelerating into the future. The mission to provide the necessary resources and desired environment becomes the focal point of attention that revolves around personal growth and development. In an era of rapid advancement in knowledge and information, the commitment to move forward is a challenging dilemma but an indispensable part in each person's career development.
2.1. Definition of Vision and Perception
So far, we have been considering personal growth, development, self-mastery, etc. From a definitional perspective, "development" means growth and change, and "growth" is the process of developing. "Vision" is a mental image; foresight, an institution or agency serving as an instrument to express views. Other related skill concepts like visualization, concepts, and other related cognitive concepts complete this (visioning facility) in Scripture for achieving appointed goals, constructing the strategy needed to achieve that mandate, fundamental guiding values, principles, or specific ends for a certain purpose, work, etc. The mental faculties; comprehension, perception, etc., on the other hand, enable one to understand, assimilate, synthesize, which, in turn, determine a specific characteristic influencing whatever behavior. Essentially, the detailed understanding of the elements impacting on and flowing from vision, thoroughly dominated by the aspect of perception. Although visioning, strategizing, and principle formulation are of enormous quantum importance, it's the organic inner fertile and creative condition of vision (fundamentally correct visioning results) constantly changing continuously adapting paradigm utilized, this eagle's eye, the image/mindset employed, or vision. It's this "vision" that's at the very core of leadership, leading, or establishing leadership, non-leadership, or misleadership. The research will therefore develop model(s) of vision and perception, their relationships, relative relationships, implications, and outcomes using both present and historical models. Results and recommendations will be provided, and limitations and potentials for future research suggested.
2.2. The Role of Vision and Perception in Personal Development
In the context of this paper, notions such as growth, learning, purpose, values, competencies, strength, enjoyment, success, well-being, and fulfillment translate into those particularities that configure the personality, lifestyle, knowledge, skills, perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, and perspectives that characterize individual development and accomplishments, fostering personal growth and fulfillment. Thus, personal growth is a multidimensional concept that refers to the process of evolving and increasing the real and perceived potential and development capabilities in order to assume control over one's life throughout life, indispensable for personal fulfillment and quality of life. The position of the concepts of growth, learning, purpose, values, competencies, strength, enjoyment, success, well-being, and fulfillment signifies that personal growth and development do not occur randomly and that personalities, lifestyles, competencies, values, perceptions, and specific stages of development will influence a person's congruence with his personal vision, as planned, desired, and intended outcome, influencing behavior, interactions, and self-control. Personality is the configuration that characterizes the cognitive-affective style, behavior, and self-regulation responses to the environment, self-confidence, adaptability, emotional intelligence, leadership, and the level of effort that accumulates in the time dedicated to the evaluation of personal direction, environmental stimuli, and objectives. Vision is the direction of personal life, considering individual dimensions and unique expression of personality, lifestyle, knowledge, skills, competences, beliefs, attitudes, perceptions, and perspectives, which define the path that best suits personal intentions and goals, the specific coordinates as a thinker, constructor, and developer, the integration of life roles as a mother, professional, individual, and wife, during different personal and environmental contexts over time. The congruence vision-personality enables persons to evaluate the adaptation to environmental demands, to give reasons, reflections, and explanations about personal attitudes, to reach conclusions that transform personal reality, interests into recent concerns, ideas into ambitious goals, and to implement future courses of action. When vision and personality require incompatible directions, persons experience dissonance, confusion, dissatisfaction, and stress. The feelings of helplessness and powerlessness risk removing one's peace of mind, as the risk of producing well-being is much smaller when personality hinders progress.
3. Empirical Studies
In this chapter, several bodies of experimental work exploring possible linkages between vision and action are discussed. The involved studies address issues ranging from the influence of internal action models on visual categorization to motor correlates of attention with regard to input-output channels. Visual categorization is defined by a history of sorting certain image classes or patterns according to specified criteria. For example, an image or pattern is recognized and categorized as a dog, a house, etc. based on stored prototypes. It is quite plausible to assume that we are using appropriate action models as a means to accomplish this goal. Specific action token information is available, supporting the view that we are indeed using appropriate action token models in this respect and, in fact, employ these models for the recognition of detailed object properties. Demonstrated activity changes due to attentional shifts indicate that it is meaningful to relate figure-ground segregation processes and visual attention. For example, showed that a change of seeing, i.e., of attention, is associated with activation changes at the fixation point. and found neural correlates responding to hearers' attentional focus on an utterance's origin. The underlying data suggest that changes of visual interest are not only controlled by a dissociation of attending and perceiving but also by the control of autonomic processes such as heart rate or body temperature. The latter implies that attention performs its task in multisensory processing contexts shared between vision, hearing, and touch.
3.1. Case Studies on Vision and Perception in Personal Growth
The power of vision includes both a mental (although non-physical) picture of your outcome and the depth of its clarity. This is the basis of another often-used cliché: Without vision, the people perish. One of the most successful builders of commerce has been Ray Kroc, who started McDonald's Restaurants. When Ray was asked why his hamburgers were so popular, among things like new food tastes, a quick and cheap bite out, cleanliness, etc., he replied, "That's easy. Every day, we get up and prepare our restaurants to sell 250 hamburgers, which is all the staff work for. If they only have to prepare 100 hamburgers, the entire operation goes around looking slack and sad. People are attracted to happy, successful operations, and McDonald's provides a very clear vision of a successful operating business." The power of vision is beautifully explained in a story about a group of children asked to select which of several scattered pictures best appealed to them. Slightly over half chose a picture of 'a wild horse, running flat out'. A quarter chose another action picture. Most of the others chose a picture of a lovely sunset, the sun appearing as a large, beautifully colored ball. At next weekend's sports meeting, the leadership-coach distributed that picture to all of the young athletes, and you can guess the overall result. All of the fastest sprint races were won by children holding the 'best' picture card in their hand, and not only won but by a full margin! The sunset and the wild horse pictures? Nearly every participant in the sprints, the longer distance races, and other events in which performance is not as immediate; mostly the athletes who had the less attractive and less inspiring environment.
4. Practical Implications and Applications
How do we go about the business of making our visual perceptions and views perspectives become clearer and better corrected? There is no magic formula for doing this, but there are methods, disciplines, and attitudes we can apply to greatly increase our chances of improving our vision and perceptions. One way we can accomplish this is by challenging our own perceptions and questioning our own assumptions and preconceptions continually. In a sense, the process of self-correction is one of the most difficult tasks we can ever undertake, for the greatest part of the challenge is to resist the inclination we all have to believe that our worldviews are entirely right and that our perceptions are entirely accurate. The key to our personal achievement and growth lies in our capacity to challenge our own beliefs, to distinguish between the several levels and aspects of our perceptions, and to be especially concerned with increasing and improving our vision and the accuracy of our perceptions that we involve in our relationships and activities. On the professional level as well, it has been observed that individuals who lack the ability to express a tangible vision of what they want to become, or to define an agenda of goals which would lead to the quality and service dimensions inherent in that vision, undermine their own effectiveness, limit that of other individuals, and impair the performance of the entire organization. Personal growth and fulfillment are most naturally achieved when a person identifies a personal vision and integrates various facets of his or her life experience and activity to realize that vision. The rational mind can facilitate the process of self-correction and self-examination, but the real power often comes from the integrated participation in interests, such as those we experience when involved in creative nonanalytical pursuits. The implications appear to be that vision is an extremely complex and dynamic process involving wide-ranging and interlocking facets of individual and collective interest and behavior. Developing, utilizing, and teaching these aspects is vital to our national and international progress and prosperity.
5. Conclusion and Future Directions
Human vision and perspective-taking capabilities affect our understanding of the self and are critical to personal growth and development. By linking findings from developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience, I have examined how the development of visual function, atypical visual function, and the development of perspective-taking abilities link to self-awareness and the understanding of others. I outline correlates of atypical self-understanding and potential neural mechanisms of self-awareness. By doing so, I extend our understanding of the visual influences on personal growth and development. Together, these findings provide an account of the contribution of visual and perspective-taking skills to the healthy development of the self. These aspects of contribution are critical for psychiatric conditions in which patients have difficulties in expressing their mental states. This reviewer would encourage future theoretical and empirical work to incorporate modules for vision and perspective-taking, thereby contributing to the scientific discourse on personal characteristics and the underlying mechanisms of the self. In describing these abilities, I use what is known about others to illustrate the function served by the skills both for oneself and for helping us understand the self. While the journey to self-awareness is closely connected with one's interpersonal relationships, that journey is a solitary one, which asks challenging questions such as "Who am I?" To illustrate the function of self-awareness, I offer examples of its component skills. I begin with a model of the multifaceted experiences of self-awareness and its component skills, not necessarily from a developmental view, but with the aim of setting the stage for the unity between vision and self-awareness. Even though self-awareness is initially defined individually, specific experiences of self-awareness develop and persist in individuals as cognitive modules.
