Children can have big feelings that many adults find to be over the top. The key is to validate their emotions even if you don't understand them. Here's how, explains @finkshrink psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

Anyone who downplays the threat of the anti-vaccine movement is either not paying attention or has been bamboozled.
Sadly, many of us have been warning about their pseudoscientific assault on public health for years.

My struggle with MAHA/MAGA, if you want to monetize the internet, sell your phony cures, health freedom nonsense, that’s your right it’s a 250 year American tradition. But don’t forget U.S. strength derives from our research universities/institutions that’s why we’re great nation
We can’t make social media a scapegoat- it’s one factor. If we only focus on that we won’t look at and try to address other issues like wildly excessive academic demands on kids
Yet the struggle of youth and screens 📱is real. We know it causes myopia🤓, for example. But let’s not automatically assume teens are depressed 😞bc of social media. Dig deeper! 🕳️@BarbaraRoblesMD @DrMaryAlvord @finkshrink @DrHowardLiu

When you go to vote just remember that they are more obsessed with regulating what women do with their own bodies than regulating lunch meat factories.

Depression is not a choice.
Anxiety is not attention seeking.
Psychosis doesn’t make anyone “crazy.”
Trauma is not your fault.
Bipolar doesn’t refer to the fluctuating weather.
You’re so OCD isn’t a way to describe being clean. -Dr. Jen

ICYMI: Abortion care throughout pregnancy is normal. Abortion is common. Abortion is healthcare. Every pregnancy is unique, every person’s story is different, and every reason for accessing abortion care is valid.
Mental health awareness is growing- but is mental health literacy growing along with it? Misinformation crowds out accurate info- so we need to get good info out there!
