Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Mental Health? Not so mental after all.
There is an Inseparable Link Between Physical and Mental Health. In an era where mental health is gaining the recognition it deserves, a comprehensive approach to well-being is more important than ever. Beyond conventional treatments, recent studies are highlighting the profound influence of diet and physical health on mental well-being. This paradigm shift in understanding is supported by a growing body of evidence. It underscores the potential of nutritional psychiatry in mitigating mood disorders, offering a beacon of hope for countless individuals.

Hidden Reasons Why Some People Can't Say Sorry
Many friendships and relationships break up primarily because pride and ego get in the way of agreement and harmony. Some people find it hard to apologise for anything, even though they know they did something wrong or inappropriate. They feel that it makes them look worse, or belittles them in some way. Yet they are likely to expect others to always apologise, so that they can feel ‘right’ or vindicated.

Luckiest people who survived the impossible
Back in December of 1980, 19-year-old Jean Hilliard had no idea she was about to prove just how cold they could get in the most unimaginable way possible. Jean was driving home one evening when she hit a ditch and got stuck. Trying to get the car back up and running on her own was useless, so she started walking to a friend's house down the road. However, Jean didn't dress for the cold, and temperatures that night hit a bitter low of minus 20 Fahrenheit. She walked for two grueling miles until finally reaching her destination, only freezing to death along the way. Her frozen body was discovered 6 hours later by Wally Nelson, who found her still breathing but frozen solid.

Cigarettes Were Never a Combatant in the War on Drugs and Yet They Have Been Soundly Defeated
Be it the war on drugs, or the war on poverty, or homelessness or any of a hundred other social problems the US and other countries around the world have declared war on, our record remains abysmal. It remains where it has been stuck seemingly forever at zero victories and very little tangible ground gained. The record is actually so bad that it appears as if declaring war on a thing is the metaphysical opposite of what one should do if wanting to make a positive change to a persistent social problem. The war on drugs is perhaps the best known example of the failure of the let's declare war on something we want to go away approach to social policy. Many, many drugs became and remain combatants in this many decades old war. Cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin and other opiates, meth, marijuana, LSD, etc. Interestingly however one of the drugs that somehow managed to be left out of the war on drugs was nicotine. Specifically nicotine in the form of cigarettes. And, surprisingly to some I guess, they are the one drug (technically cigarettes are only a particularly deadly delivery mechanism for the addictive drug nicotine) that has been soundly defeated. They have in fact had their asses kicked. Completely, totally, absolutely crushed. In less than two decades cigarettes have gone from the hip, cool, must have accessory of the rebel without a cause, to a disgusting, hated, and reviled evil that no one in their right mind wants to have anything to do with. Cigarette smoking has become about as popular as Yahoo mail. That is to say, not popular at all with demand and usage at record lows. Meanwhile all the other addictive drugs still slugging it out in the war on drugs remain as popular or more so than ever. As popular as Google Maps. That is to say, quite popular and in heavy demand with usage at historic highs (no pun intended).
