It's kind of funny how one bad habit actually leads to several others... for example, I suffer from depression which causes a significant amount of stress in my daily life. Then because I feel so stressed out, I'm too exhausted to do anything so I resort just hunching over my phone, endlessly scrolling instead of engaging in something more stimulating... and as people with depression also know, your diet tends to suffer a little too The whole thing just kinda cycles from one underlying and overwhelming issue😅

Humans are funny like that. We make a specific name for every part of the body. You could give a name to every petal of a flower if you wanted to, but it doesn't change the fact that the entire flower began with a single seed.

Habits to get into and maintain: 1. Regularly challenge and stimulate your brain. 2. Drink plenty of water (and less alcohol, for that matter). 3. Address the stress. 4. Cut out the salt (and sugar, for that matter). 5. Focus on one thing at a time (and cut out distractions). 6. Decrease screen time, especially before bed. 7. Sit / stand up straight.

The issue with studies is they are often affected by bias or outside influences not considered in the study. Consuming too much salt causing damage to the brain is likely true if the person is also not hydrating, but salt is also extremely important for helping the body store water, which helps the brain. Too much screen time is another one. I feel like the better question is "Which comes first, the decreased cortex thickness or the preference for screen time?" Do people with thinner cortexes prefer screens because they're easier for them to comprehend? Or do the screens actually cause the thinner cortexes?

Not giving it a challenge 😏

So if I’m understanding this correctly, a considerable number of people who have computer/tech-related jobs are likely killing their brains at a faster rate because: - work on computer/phone usually leads to poor posture - work usually follows them home, results in more stress -> few breaks in work = little time to make time for self-care - work & stress (possibly relax time too) = more screen time - salty snacks and caffeine drinks = dehydration This is a worrying cycle, considering these all can feed into each other so easily. Also leads to a collection of muscular stresses within the body.

Don't forget the part where most jobs require you to be multitasking at all times, specially if your main tool is a computer

I think that the thinner cortex issue with people having excessive screen time stems not form the screen time itself, but rather, from how they utilize said time. If a person is using their device as a "zombie box", constantly feeding it useless information, or things for "shits and giggles" (such as memes, news, uninspiring video game playthroughs, etc.), naturally, they don't get to exercise their brain while at it. They shut it down, and let it roll. If person would spend more time researching stuff, solving problems, or otherwise tinkering or experimenting with something on their machine, even if in a video game, I think they would not suffer this issue, see no reason why. So, in my eyes, this is definitely a case of correlation, not causation.

Psych2go never seizes to amaze me. The quality information put out to the public, the really cute and well done animations in the videos, the choice of music and the lovely voice the narrator(s) have just work in sync so well together. I'm always learning something new and the videos are always a joy to watch. Just beautiful!! This is my favourite channel, and I will continue sharing it with others. Keep up the good work! :-)

I try to remain hydrated, do what I can to address whatever stresses me to people that are patient enough with me to listen to me vent so I feel stress very little, I've been laying off the screens a little bit but not as much as I should start doing. Lately I've been focusing on myself a lot and trying to improve my mental health, since watching yer vids I've been feeling more motivated to keep giving the improvements going!

I’m 23 turning 24 on the 31st of this month and since coming forth and speaking my truth, freshly after escaping an abusive relationship with my assailant and abuser, I’ve actively sought out ways to enhance my mental prosperity. I’ve already been very knowledge-seeking since childhood, but upon wanting to recover I found myself thoroughly invested in educating myself any way possible. Following this, I’ve been working out more, staying hydrated and always finding things to research.

Too much water can harm your brain as well, causing conditions that can also harm your brain like water intoxication, or water toxicity. The recommendation of 8 glasses a day is needlessly confusing but that actually represents about two liters a day.

My mother lives on her own, and, this has given me the fear that if I’m out of the house, my mum will… Something would happen to her and I wouldn’t be able to help her in time… God, I’m beginning to tear up at just the thought right now…

It's wonderful because they just push a button on their watch or necklace & if they don't answer the small device right away (which sits on a table) - the people at medical alert will alert you and call an ambulance if necessary, plus you can keep a house key in a Lockbox so they can get inside to help.

My life changed when I started watching your channel. Now I have a girlfriend, I have a better relationship with my friends and family. Thanks for uploading videos like this!

ive had a bad posture for a long time, some other stuff were the issue as well but one thing a physiotherapist once said really struck with me and i think its one of the best things a doctor told be about : your posture is A LOT affected by how you feel. so if you are sad depressed loneley etc you will hunche over , make yourself smaller, leave your shoulders hanging etc. feeling happieness, pride, n other happy emotions changes it completely to a confident upright good posture another top 1 sentence was : your best sitting position/ posture is the NEXT one - meaning that even having a good upright posture can be BAD if you maintain it for too long. the human body is designed to move and not stay still the whole time. give them muscles a good stretch adn keep changing your positions (well maybe not hunche over completely for too long since that puts a LOOOOOT pressure on your spine)

I do push away my stress a lot. I also use a lot of screen time, but I’m really trying to reduec this.

Or when my mom is off of work, I ask her if we are doing anything. Don’t get me wrong, I do practicing singing, and I play my piano and other musical instruments in my house.

@@kylieyuen5521 alright, thank you for the information

I was just discussing this with my friend! Although I am a straight A+ student, I’m always on my phone, since that’s the only way I’m able to interact with my boyfriend and I always get work done last minute. How can I get rid of this habit but still have time to be with my boyfriend?

This cute animation addressing and curing my depression at the same time.❤️☺️

1. I'm currently learning German (using Duolingo), und ich mache das sehr gut. 2. I'm drinking enough 3. Deep breathing (Wim Hof method), Yoga & daily exercise. 4. In the past I was consuming to much salt (especially with fries), after not adding salt to the fries I noticed my blood pressure is more stable afterwards, and overal salt reduction in other foods. 5. You don't multi-task when you procrastinate 🤷‍♂ (it's not so much about doing multiple things, but about being worried about what other things you still need to do) 6. Yes, guilty, but I am working on reducing this 7. Find a straight wall/door, stand-up with your head shoulder-blades (don't shrug, relax) lower-backside and heels pressed against, hold for 30 seconds (this is a perfect posture),

I have all these habits and they are hard to drop

@@lavenderiris9744 no, I don’t think so, that stress would probably be coming from how much work you have to do, not the music. (These are my thoughts on this, so I could be wrong…)

Addressing Chronic Stress is really important. I've been ignoring it for like one and a half years now. And its not helping me.

how do you make your voice so calming? my voice is loud and irritating so i want to make it more calm and composed and also i love your vids. ive been watching since i was a little boy💙

I have a question, is it possible to recover from these conditions when you start adapting as soon as possible, or is your brain going to be permanently affected. I'm 16 and my cognitive functions are drastically declining while I'm also checking multiple boxes from the video. I don't hydrate myself regularly, Screen time is well over 7 hours, I don't do anything to stimulate my brain anymore which I'm desperately trying to improve but failing to lack of motivation for anything and everything. I'm horrified of the aspect of living my life while my mind is constantly trying to think through mud and really hope the reversal of these effects is possible at my current age.

Just the fact that you now say this out loud (and I include YT posting as "saying something out loud") is a very positive sign! Good luck, I know how you feel.

I got a dumbphone because I had a major smartphone addiction (mainly to KZread), and found out that most of what my smartphone could do, my laptop could do just as well. Ever since the transition, I've felt a myriad of benefits. I've felt significantly less depressed, I've been able to focus better, I've been more disciplined about almost everything... I'd list more benefits it's brought me, but I'm not one to write an entire essay in a KZread comment section. It's only been 3 months since the transition to my dumbphone and I don't miss my smartphone at all.

The thought that comes to my my mind when I do these habbits is It’s not a big deal nothing will happen The damage is so minor that it’s unnoticeable But now that I know i can stop doing them

Can you undo a decrease as well? It’d be interesting to know how flexible the brain is in general.

leave it to the psycho-neurology study scientists; for now you can stop the harmful habits, and do well with healthy habits, despite your curiosity remaining potentially forever unfulfilled; do not experiment on yourself outside of proven self improvement practices you have access to.

@@Dm3qXY You are a overreacting, don’t you think? Your interpretation of me experimenting on myself goes way too far. You watched too many movies. It’s not so uncommon that people don’t sleep enough or drink too little. So it’s only natural to wanna know if that damage can be undone or if you simply can try to not make it worse. Is it forbidden to ask interested questions? This channel is for educational purposes and any good education should touch your curiosity and therefore motivate you to think and ask questions about it. So trying to hinder anyone to ask interested questions is the exact opposite. Don’t be so judgemental and encourage others instead to reflect on their behaviour. You’re basically telling me, that I shouldn’t follow my inner questions just because I am not an expert. This attitude will make you dull towards your environment.

@@kineko7823 yep, that's my point, you see it as an attack, when all i did was giving an overly cautious recommendation about not experimenting on yourself (because some damage is not reversible).. and now, because i didn't encourage you giving yourself damage in the name of curiosity, i am the one seemingly "attacking" you. lemme reformulate again: "Can you undo a decrease as well?" - if it was from dehydration, volume wise, yes; but that doesn't say anything about the structural changes; "It’d be interesting to know how flexible the brain is in general" - yes, it is interesting knowing stuff in general, not by experimenting on self.

why is everything I do bad for my brain

now i understand why after pandemic i felt like i didn’t catch up information the way i used to do before. It feels like my brain is asleep and atrophied and it’s been feeling like that since i started college in 2022 😭

In my case stress and excessive screen-time I can't control much... I try exercise and Yin Yoga, and sometimes I can go full days without using my computer or phone. Then again I also suffer from chronic migraines, and usually I have to spend a certain amount of time at my desktop to deal with paperwork or talk with friends and relatives, as I move fairly often and rather far away... it varies a lot. I certainly don't spend it only social media platforms, besides, well, KZread and maybe Discord. That's about it. Usually I try to look for educational content as I don't have anything going on right now. Anytime my eyes feel tired I hydrate them and take a break to stretch, drink water, get a snack, maybe some fruit, and go pet my cat.

I’m guilty of too much screen time right now. Been out of work to let myself heal and recover and it’s been too long. Also, could you guys maybe do a video about the side effects of…. Dealing with a phobia? Example: just had a wicked thunderstorm early this morning and it sent me panicking and spiked my heart rate. I’m terrified of thunder. Sadly, I know exactly what causes thunder, just, my brontophobia takes over and I hate it. I’m sure it’s just anxiety really. Still. I’m also still a bit jumpy today with any sort of rumble/thump. Let me edgy even though it’s been many hours later. Heck. One time, I had thunder crack overhead when I lived at my parents’ place and I made a weird, terrified noise. I don’t think gentle exposure is an option either. Really really hate loud noise

chronic stress... I had experienced that a lot... I was in depression (and I didn't know I had one) few years ago, and I had constant stomach ache. One day I went to the hospital and got gastroscopy to check if I had any health problems (Well, it was not because of the stomach ache.) The doctor told me and my mom that I had no health problems, except that my parts of my gastric mucosa (A thin layer that protects the stomach from acid) was worn off. He said it normally happens because of stress, and asked me if I had any events recently that caused me to have stress. Well, my answer was no. I didn't even recognize that I was stressed until then. I was actually feeling pretty fine for few weeks.

I’ve noticed that sitting up straight just now makes me feel better mentally
