Lessons Learned about my Mental Health
Living with mental illness I have learned many things about how to overcome the deepest darkest parts of Schizoaffective disorder amidst other illness. I am officially diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder, but my psychiatrist and therapist have told me I also have concurrent disorders.

My Perspective on PYM Mood Chews, As A Nutritionist . Top Story - April 2021. Created with: PYM.
Stress. It’s a six letter word that we hear and experience all too often. Not only are we constantly seeing or hearing about it in the news and media, but it’s that sudden heart racing feeling when the dog throws up and you're already late to a meeting, it’s your mother birthday and you forgot to send flowers, and, oh, cars out of gas. As you are watching the minutes tick away, your hypothalamus, a tiny control tower in your brain, decides to send out the orders, “send in the stress response!”. This stress signal is the same one that triggers your body’s “fight or flight” response. Your heart races, your breath quickens, and your muscles are ready for action. While this response is great to protect you from impending danger, when it keeps firing day after day it can actually be putting your health at risk.

To Check Your Mental Health Status, Ask These 13 Questions to Yourself
Mental illness is like slow poisoning cancer. It is an invisible enemy that is rotting personal life and relationships. Despite this fact, many people in the world do not categorize it under the health umbrella and because of this mistake, it goes unnoticed.

Is Life Getting to Be Too Much?
When I was nineteen, I worked in a bar for a couple of years. Think Cheers, but we had better characters. I started before lunch and went to closing. This meant 11 am to 4 am, with a few hours break in the afternoon. Saturday night I got to leave at 2 am.

Broken bones heal, but does our mental health?
Typically accident-prone Ask anybody and they will tell you that broken bones aren't exactly a new thing for me. With my first break at 8-years-old, I got used to the routine of accident/break/X-Ray/temporary cast/permanent cast. This became my routine for the next couple of times - that's right, a couple of times *queue eye-roll emoji!*
