What’s your opinion about mental health?

We are a complex bioelectro-chemical organism.
Our bio mechanics are incredibly complex, and drive our mental and emotional states more than we fully understand yet.

We are just discovering that some species of bacteria in the bowel excrete neurotoxins, that our microbiome diversity and levels can affect hormones and chemical supply in the brain and so much more.

So id say that mental health can be severely affected by our physical state.

If doctors are helping people with mental and emotional problems by giving them medication to assimilate, then it only proves my point. How your body works or rather, how well it works, (or not) can affect the chemical levels and interactions it has.

So physical things like movement, exercise, digestion and breathing all play a part in our mental health.

And i imagine, that in the future we will undertand this better.

And that one solution is not always suited to everyone .
Some thrive on being vegan, some on high meat diets.
Some people need exertive exercise , while otjers do better on gentle.

So as important as mental health is, i think physical health is a priority starting point.

If a body is failing, its likely a mind will struggle too.

And sometimes its a vicious cycle. So vicious that often starting with the physical is better, becuase the mind needs healthy support first before any healing can start.
