herreradennis+FollowLosing Grip? It Could Be a Brain ThingTurns out, a weak handshake might mean more than just skipping arm day. New research says losing grip strength could be an early warning sign of psychosis! People recently diagnosed with psychosis had noticeably weaker grips and lower well-being scores. Even crazier, brain scans linked this to changes in key brain regions. Scientists are now thinking grip tests could help spot mental health issues early—and maybe even guide new treatments. Who knew your handshake could say so much? #Health #MentalHealth #Psychosis50Share
Mr. Roy Ewing II+Follow4 in 10 Senegalese Women Face PsychosisWhoa, did you know 41% of Senegalese women have experienced psychotic symptoms like delusions or hallucinations?

Mental health is way more common—and complicated—than we think! #MentalHealth #Senegal #WomensHealth #Psychosis #Wellbeing #Health70Share
