mfigueroa+FollowMentally Ill Man Convicted Over Unpaid Car InsuranceCan you believe a guy got a criminal record just for missing his car insurance while he was hospitalized for a mental health crisis? His parents even hid the car to keep him safe, but the court still convicted him—without even reading his letter explaining the situation. The system’s supposed to handle small offenses quickly, but it’s missing real-life context and compassion. Now, there’s talk of reform, but nothing’s changed yet. Wild, right? #Health #MentalHealth #JusticeReform2112Share

Nearly all the comments from children with chronic illnesses were negative—sadness and fear everywhere, especially during Covid. But here’s the twist: when care was good, these kids lit up with gratitude and hope. It’s wild how much their online words reveal about what they’re really going through. Makes you think about the real emotional toll behind the scenes. #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters10Share
Brandon Burke+FollowTeens Are Ditching Their Phones?!Turns out, a ton of kids are actually taking breaks from their phones and social media to protect their mental health—no parental nagging required. Nearly 40% of 12- to 15-year-olds are stepping back from screens, and some are even deleting apps or going full digital detox. They’re realizing social media isn’t always great for their self-esteem and are rebelling by unplugging. Maybe Gen Z is onto something? #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters17391Share
Jennifer Vargas+FollowAre You Missing These 3 Key Values?Turns out, if you don’t value compassion, integrity, or care about others, psychology says you might have some psychopathic traits. On Diary of a CEO, psychiatrist Steve Peters spilled that when people skip these values in self-reflection exercises, it’s a major red flag. But don’t freak out—most of us just get a little lost in our own heads sometimes. Still, wild to think your values list could reveal so much about your mind! #Health #MentalHealth #PsychologyFacts10Share
herreradennis+FollowKids’ Social Posts Expose Hidden Health StrugglesKids dealing with chronic health issues are pouring their hearts out online—and it’s honestly heartbreaking. Researchers found that nearly all the posts from kids with conditions like cancer, asthma, or chronic pain were filled with sadness, fear, and frustration, especially during the pandemic. Only a tiny fraction shared anything positive, usually about kind doctors or good treatment. It’s a huge reminder that these kids need way more emotional support, not just medical care. Their stories are raw, real, and impossible to ignore. #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters30Share
Brandon Burke+FollowLoneliness Hits Harder Than You ThinkTurns out, loneliness isn’t just a bad mood—it’s seriously messing with our health. A new study found people who always feel lonely are FIVE times more likely to be depressed and have way more days where they just feel off, mentally and physically. It’s not just older folks, either—women, younger adults, and even people with less education are feeling it most. Makes you think twice about brushing off those lonely days, right? #Health #MentalHealth #Loneliness8257Share
Adam Schmidt+FollowGirls With ADHD Know Themselves Best?Wild new study alert: teen girls with ADHD are actually super in tune with their symptoms—way more than boys, who tend to downplay theirs (or just don’t notice). Parents and teachers often see boys’ symptoms as more severe than the boys do, but girls’ self-reports match up with what adults see. Makes you wonder how many girls are flying under the radar just because they’re quieter about it. Maybe it’s time we listen to what these girls are saying about their own experiences! #Health #MentalHealth #ADHD170Share
