herreradennis+FollowKids’ Social Posts Expose Hidden Health StrugglesKids dealing with chronic health issues are pouring their hearts out online—and it’s honestly heartbreaking.

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.

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

A Brooklyn pediatrician broke down what’s behind this trend and how funding cuts make things even tougher. Wild, right? #Health #MentalHealth #ChildHealth00Share

Turns out, her drive to help came from a lifetime of caring for her unwell mom as a kid.
