When people approach mental health, they often think about it as mental weakness, but a lot of times it's honestly a biological process of the body that is being activated through the nervous system.
Ever wondered why your mood swings sometimes feel like they're out of your control? In this eye-opening episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', host Chris Gazdik teams up with fellow therapist Kasie Morgan to shed light on how hormones can impact your mental health. They start with the basics—what hormones are and why they matter. Did you know there are hundreds of hormones in your body, each playing a crucial role in your overall well-being?
Chris and Kasie break it all down in a way that's easy to understand. The conversation takes a deep dive into how hormonal fluctuations can affect both your emotional and rational decision-making. Whether you're dealing with menstrual cycles, menopause, or midlife hormonal shifts, this episode has got you covered. The duo also discusses the importance of hormone testing in diagnosing mental health conditions that are often misunderstood or overlooked.
One standout moment comes when they address the common misconception that mental health issues are purely psychological. As Chris puts it, "When people approach mental health, they often think about it as mental weakness, but a lot of times it's honestly a biological process of the body that is being activated through the nervous system". This quote encapsulates the essence of their discussion—mental health isn't just in your head; it's also in your body.
If you're curious about how to manage hormonal changes to improve your mental well-being, this episode offers practical advice and valuable insights. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complex relationship between hormones and mental health.
