herreradennis+FollowThis Therapy Changes How You ThinkJust learned about MERIT therapy and it’s kind of blowing my mind! It’s designed for people with serious mental illness, like schizophrenia, and instead of just treating symptoms, it helps you actually understand how you think (and how others do too). Therapists are super open and real with clients, and the whole process is about making sense of your world together. Early studies say it’s helping people reflect and recover in new ways. Love seeing mental health care get more human! #MentalHealthMatters #Schizophrenia #Therapy #MERIT #Psychotherapy #RecoveryJourney #Health50Share
Logan Flowers+FollowKids’ Mental Health Linked to Parents’ DiagnosisTurns out, kids with parents who have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder face a much higher risk of mental health struggles themselves. A four-year study found that these kids show specific symptom patterns—think attention issues and disruptive behavior for schizophrenia, and mood swings or ADHD for bipolar. But here’s the hopeful part: strong family support and better socioeconomic status actually help protect these kids. Researchers say early support and ongoing check-ins are key! #MentalHealthAwareness #Parenting #Research #FamilySupport #Schizophrenia #Health102Share
herreradennis+FollowSchizophrenia Breakthroughs You Need to KnowDid you know schizophrenia affects 1 in 300 people worldwide? Stigma is still a huge problem, with over half of those diagnosed feeling it—sometimes even from their own doctors. But there’s hope: the first new treatment in 50 years just got approved, and researchers are exploring wild new options like genetic models and synapse regeneration. Mental Health Awareness Month is the perfect time to talk about this. Let’s keep pushing for better understanding and breakthroughs! #MentalHealthAwareness #Schizophrenia #BreakTheStigma #MedicalBreakthroughs #Health2818Share
