Jennifer Vargas+FollowMen Are Spilling Their Hearts to AITurns out, more and more men are opening up to ChatGPT about their deepest feelings—stuff they’d never say out loud to friends or even therapists. For some, AI is like a judgment-free zone where they can vent about breakups, family drama, or just feeling lost. It’s not perfect (sometimes it can even make things worse), but for many, it’s the first step to real emotional support. Would you ever use AI for advice? #MentalHealth #AICompanions #MenTalk #Health716Share
Harold Sosa+FollowHow Childhood Memories Shape Mental HealthWild how your childhood memories can actually help protect your mental health later on.

Basically, those good vibes from childhood can buffer some of the toughest mental health struggles. Makes you think about the power of kindness early on! #MentalHealthMatters #ChildhoodExperiences #SuicidePrevention #Health #MentalHealth270Share

Brandon Burke+FollowAntidepressants & Weight Gain? Here’s the ScoopDid you know some popular antidepressants might sneakily add a few pounds? A Harvard study found meds like Lexapro, Paxil, and Cymbalta could bump your risk of weight gain by 10-15%. Bupropion (Wellbutrin) was the least likely to cause weight gain, while others like Zoloft and Prozac were somewhere in the middle.

herreradennis+FollowCBD & THC Combo: Seizure Game-Changer?Wild new study alert: scientists found that both CBD and THC—yep, even in combo—can seriously cut down seizure severity and brain inflammation in mice. They even worked as well as some standard epilepsy meds! But here’s the twist: while seizures and inflammation improved, memory issues stuck around. Also, nanoemulsions (fancy delivery tech) made the cannabinoids work even better. Cannabis science just keeps getting more interesting! #CBD #THC #EpilepsyResearch #Health #MentalHealth22249Share
mfigueroa+FollowAI Outsmarts Us at Emotional IQ Tests?!AI just crushed humans at emotional intelligence tests—scoring 81% vs our 56%! But before you freak out, experts say it’s not as deep as it sounds. AI’s just really good at picking up patterns in data, not actually feeling anything. Still, it’s wild to think bots can now spot stress or sadness in real-time chats, like a WhatsApp assistant helping truck drivers in Brazil. Real empathy? Not quite. But scalable, data-driven support? Absolutely! #AI #EmotionalIntelligence #TechNews #Health #MentalHealth11Share

mfigueroa+FollowFasting Might Boost Your Mood?Intermittent fasting isn’t just about weight loss—turns out, it could actually help with depression by lighting up the brain’s dopamine system! In a new study, mice on an intermittent fasting schedule showed fewer depression-like symptoms and were more into things they usually enjoy (like sweet treats). The catch? It all hinges on dopamine D1 receptors in the brain. It’s early days (the research is in mice), but this could mean big things for mental health and nutrition! #IntermittentFasting #MentalHealth #Dopamine #Health151Share
Adam Schmidt+FollowClaude: The AI BFF Nobody Saw ComingTurns out, people are spilling their hearts to Anthropic’s Claude chatbot—and it’s actually making them feel better mid-convo! New research shows that while most folks use Claude for work stuff, a small but growing group is treating it like an emotional support buddy. The wild part? As chats get deeper, users’ moods tend to lift. But don’t ditch your therapist just yet—experts say bots aren’t ready to replace real human support. Still, who knew AI could be such a good listener? #AICompanionship #MentalHealth #Chatbots #Health10Share
herreradennis+FollowHeat Wave & Mental Health: What No One Tells YouDid you know summer heat can seriously mess with mental health, especially for folks on psychiatric meds?

AC and fans aren’t just nice, they’re a must right now! #HeatWave2024 #MentalHealthMatters #StayCool #Health #MentalHealth110Share
