🚨 Anti-Depressants & Hot Weather 🚨 Two of the most commonly known types of psychiatric medication that can lead to overheating in hot weather are tricyclic antidepressants and antipsychotics. These kinds of medications can impair the temperature regulating area of the brain, the hypothalamus, from working 100% as it should. Many antidepressants increase your likelihood of excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis. Specifically, Tricyclic Acid and SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) antidepressants are responsible for this. The way in which antidepressants cause excessive sweating is still relatively unknown – it is thought to be linked to the effects of serotonin, the happy hormone, in trying to maintain the internal core temperature of the body. Your body sweats to try and cool down the body but overstimulation of this process can lead to overheating and excess sweating. In the current heatwave, some people who are taking some anti-depressants, SNRI or SSRI’s will notice not only more sweating than usual, but also simply feeling the heat more. This can then lead to dehydration, heat stroke, heat rash, and other heat related issues, so it’s essential that you’re really on top of all the regular hot-weather-related care, such as drinking plenty of water, taking time out of the sun, and avoiding overexertion. **EDIT - I Noticed I made a spelling error. SSRI not SRRI. I can’t change the photo here like on Facebook** .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #staysafe #heatwave #heatwaves #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthisimportant #sunshine #mentalhealthsupport #mentalillness #depression #summertime #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthwarrior #anxiety

If you see someone falling behind, walk beside them. if you see someone being ignored, find a way to include them. Always remind someone of their worth. One small act could mean the world to them.

I shall be on the radio tonight just after 7PM with @bbcnorthampton talking about @_place2be #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek and the importance of #GrowingTogether. Over the recent years, we have seen an unprecedented rise in the decline of children and young people’s mental health which has been made worse due to the covid pandemic and the problems with getting support due to the over-stretched and underfunded mental health services across the Country. I have battled throughout my life with mental health and mental illness and the battle continues although it has got much better than it was. I endeavour to make more support widely available to all children and young people, provide more training and support for staff and spread constant awareness and keep the conversations around mental health going and normalise being open when we struggle. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalillness #mentalwellbeing #mindset #anxiety #positivity #depression #selflove #emotionalwellbeing #wellbeing #healing #healthandwellbeing #wellbeingcoach #wellbeingjourney #mentalhealth #mentalhealthadvocate #wellbeingwarrior #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessmonth

Burnout is real and many of us experience it. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place. Burnout reduces productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing more to give. The negative effects of burnout spill over into every area of life—including your home, work, and social life. Burnout can also cause long-term changes to your body that make you vulnerable to illnesses like colds and flu. Because of its many consequences, it’s important to deal with burnout right away. Check-in with your body and if you notice these signs, then take some time for some much deserved and essential self care 💜 Self care is an essential part of our life. It’s not something that only certain people should do. Everyone deserves it and needs it. Burn-out is horrible and doing regular check-in’s with your body can prevent it from happening. . . #SelfCare #BurnOut #Stress #Pressure #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #CheckIn #selflove #care #Prevention
