So joining us now to talk about this is doctor catherine eriksson. Write out a psychologist at Kaiser Permanente in santa rosa, thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. Thanks for having and happy be here. I just want to get just the most basic questions like what is Mental Health . Its like your thoughts, your feelings like what is it that makes that definition . So Mental Health. It is absolutely your thoughts, your feelings, behaviors. But we know its tied to physical health as well, rights or behaviors each year things like exercise or sleep. This can impact our Mental Health, but certainly how you feel how youre thinking that all with would be within the round of Mental Health. When we think of Mental Health disorders, we think of things like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety. Okay. I just i think sometimes people dont even know what that means to. So i work on it to make myself feel better. So i just want to get that out there. Yeah. And then we spread in the intro here, spending more than 3 hours on social media day can double your risk of a Mental Health problem like depression and anxiety. Yeah. Why is that . Thats a great question. I dont think the research has answered exactly why that is. But we can have a couple of hypotheses why it might be right. So. When we look at social media, you know, its its snippet view of what people want to see about their lives, right . So they might cherry picking the best of their day you know that one moment when they looked really good post on but compared to our daily life where we know the of everything were doing, highs and lows, how he looked when we woke up that, you know, moment are proud of the moment, we are proud of it. The stressors, the highs, the lows, you know. So trying to compare ourselves to think standard right . And if youre spending more time on social media, you might get a little disconnected from your daily life and understanding that what you see might not be whats really out and recent it might be related is. You know, it social media to get social media right. So when she starts rolling, its hard to stop and its designed that way, right . Its designed to try win and keep you engaged. But ultimately we have to be mindful of our houston are consumerism of it. And remember that our facebook friends might not be our real friends rate. We have real friends. He connected in our in our real environment. So who suffers the most from Mental Health issues is that kids is that, you know, moms is it grandparents like what age group to find has the most difficulty. You know, mental disorders issues are one of these disorders that Cross Generational lines, racial, constructs and gender lines right in women are impacted a little more than men it seems that there are more young people with Mental Health disorders older generations. But a lot of this might just reflect help Health Seeking Behaviors and Mental Health awareness. Theres a lot of stigma around Mental Health it wasnt until recently that talking about your Mental Health, kind of made it into the popular media. You know, were here on the news talking about it which is wonderful. But that wasnt always the case. There was a lot sheshan stigma around mental home. So sometimes you might see that older generations are with certain cultural views. So the Research Shows that tends to be younger people and women that probably reflects just awareness and help us seeking behaviors. Certainly think Mental Health getting more attention now than its ever gotten before. And really quickly here. What are some things people can do to help their Mental Health . I know for me getting outside being with people high, no love me and also like exercising. But you have any other tips. Absolutely. I love those ideas that those ideas are both meaning they work in large populations and their pleasure of all right. Theres things that we know both at the biological and kind of thought level can help clear your head certainly for, you know, the individual who might be dealing with a low as it a little depression. Going outside practicing mindfulness. And things like going into nature, exercising regularly 3 times a week having a plantbased or whole grain diet, making sure youre monitoring what goes in your body and having the social connections. Those are all really good preventive measures to keep your Mental Health in check. Sometimes when things arent those, interventions arent working. And you find on still struggling in one where the other thats really a time either reach cure Mental Health provider or your primary care provider. Hes also a lot of really Digital Therapeutics. For example, if youre a taser permanente member, there are a number of apps and Digital Therapeutics included in your membership calm you look at those and kind of get some selfhelp in that way. Theres some a website as well with psycho education.
