mentalhealth

I don't have anything special to say about this other than compare and contrast:

- AI psychosis: "Journalistic accounts describe individuals who have developed strong beliefs that chatbots are sentient, are channeling spirits, or are revealing conspiracies, sometimes leading to personal crises or criminal acts."
- Can AI chatbots trigger psychosis? What the science says: "Chatbots can reinforce delusional beliefs, and, in rare cases, users have experienced psychotic episodes."

with

- New-Onset Hyperreligiosity, Demonic Hallucinations, and Apocalyptic Delusions following COVID-19 Infection: "There has been an increasing body of literature suggesting a correlation between COVID-19 infection and psychosis."

In #Utah, #Trump’s Vision for #Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

The proposed site where Utah plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people outside of Salt Lake City.

State officials promise large-scale #involuntary #addiction & #MentalHealth treatment at Salt Lake City’s edge. Critics see “a prison, or a warehouse.”

#mentalHealth

Not diagnosing a kid doesn’t mean they won’t notice they’re different, it just means they’ll think they’re struggling because they’re stupid or broken, not because their brain works differently.

#teaching #education #neurodiversity #mentalhealth

Next time you catch yourself saying: 'Fuck. That was stupid. Why did I do that?'

--- rewrite it: ---

'Fuck. That was thoughtless. Why did I do that?'

Then it becomes a problem you can work on vs. a reprimand from a shitty boss.

Be kind to yourself.

Why It’s So Hard to Find a Therapist Who Takes #Insurance
==

Those who need #therapy often have to pay out of pocket or go without care, even if they have #health insurance.

Hundreds of mental health providers told us they fled networks because insurers made their jobs impossible and their lives miserable.

New #Biden Administration Rules Aim to Hold Insurers Accountable for #MentalHealth Care Coverage
==

The regulations will force health insurance plans to collect and report more data on how they limit and deny mental health claims. ProPublica’s reporting has found that insurers regularly shortchange patients seeking treatment.

I just migrated here from SecondUniverse@neurodifferent.me, so as a quick introduction... I am a trans woman. I transitioned back in the nineties before the world declared war on us. I was diagnosed with autism in my fifties, and more recently I have self diagnosed myself as having CPTSD. I post about astronomy, game development, trans issues, mental health, autism, and writing. #trans #actuallyAutistic #writing #mentalHealth #gameDev

finished reading The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Essays on the author's experience of schizophrenia (along with bipolar, PTSD & chronic Lyme!) in the US. Fascinating & unsettling view into psychiatric hospitals, mental health 'support' in Ivy League colleges, and what the hell a psychotic break feels like. Blimey.

I've spent a lifetime making myself smaller for everyone.

Making myself the version of me that was most useful and comfortable for everyone around me.

And I *HAVE* to stop before I disappear.

I wrote about learning to TAKE UP SPACE: https://fromemily.com/space-taking-defiance/

Maybe you've made yourself smaller too? Let's TAKE UP SPACE together.

Utah Farmers Signed Up for Federally Funded Therapy. Then the Money Stopped.

Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.

“”Neuroplasticity“ is the fancy medical term used to describe your brain’s ability to learn and adapt.”

Hi everyone, i’m going to toot posts on helping us, rewiring our brain, and eventually leading up to how meditation (or other forms) assist in neuroplasticity. 🧠❤️🙏🏼
Firstly, just a bit of science regarding rewiring the brain in this article.
*My on-going, meditation journey is always in progress. 🥰🧘🏻‍♀️✨

Listen to Your Sleeping Dreams! - Tuning In
#psychology #health #art #MentalHealth

So the lesson from my story is, listen to your dreams! What parts of you might you have left behind, things that make your heart sing and that help you connect to yourself and others? If you don’t know, but you nevertheless feel a kind of nagging emptiness in living that you can’t quite define, the clues you need may already be in your own dreams, if you can learn to listen.

The Limitations of Professional Psychology - Tuning In

This is just an overview, a summary, of my thoughts from over three decades of study and practice in positive psychology to describe some limitations of contemporary professional psychology. What do you think? What have I missed? I’m eager for any comments, disagreements, or other perspectives.

Chances are we all have suffered or know someone who is suffering from depression. It’s natural to want to help those we care about, but choosing the right approach is important. Claudia Giolitti-Wright, a psychotherapist in New York, cringes when clients with depression report back on what their friends or family members inevitably say to them: “But you have so much to be grateful for!” It is, she believes, the No. 1 worst way to respond when someone opens up about their mental-health struggles.
