Posted in Uncategorized

Using your interests to pick your shoes Nothing says “buy me” quite like a colourful display of Nike shoes for sale. Known for their pleasing aesthetics, all of us have experienced heading straight for the Nike Sales counter based on what display looks like, before even starting to consider our individual needs. As humans, we are hard-wired to head for what is visually pleasing, but this is not the best strategy when that which is important, is not the visual […]

All The Special Things!

Posted in Uncategorized

All The Special Things! I think we very often live in a super disposable, consumerist world which does nothing for either the environment or our own wellbeing. Fast fashion be it for the home or the body is hollow and at the end of the day leaves nothing behind but rubbish. I’m not saying it doesn’t occasionally have a place but I do wonder if we simply throw away the old for being old when we could hold on to […]

Planning For Later Life!

Posted in Uncategorized

Planning For Later Life! I’m sure I wouldn’t be in the minority when it comes to finding it hard to think about death. Everything about it terrifies me and despite being an adult with a mortgage and a family and all the trappings of “life” which mean I SHOULDF think about death, though may it be long into the future, I find myself blocking it with a big dark cross over my vision.

Why Are You Anti-Psychiatrist?

Posted in Uncategorized

Why Are You Anti-Psychiatrist? Is it fear I wonder when people tell me that they are anti psychiatry? Because how can one be against something that has absolutely zero chance of harming? Talking, taking holistic approaches and embracing the traditional forms of medicine, when dealing with poor mental health, are absolutely not things to be ashamed of or dismissed as being nothing. We don’t judge people or tell them not to seek medical help when they break their arms or […]

The Benefits Of Biological Psychiatry

Posted in Uncategorized

The Benefits Of Biological Psychiatry Is it just life events which can cause poor mental health issues or are some of us programmed to have a natural chemical imbalance which means we are forever destined to be in need of psychiatric help? Something we are born with and a natural scientific make up of our bodies just as in the way we look, the way we are made? I think that both causes of poorly minds are just as valid […]

Integrative Psychiatry

Integrative Psychiatry Someone said to me recently that they had come to terms with the fact they had to accept an underlying sadness that would just always be within them even though they truly didn’t know why or how they felt the way they did. In turn this saddened me so much it made me want to ignore all the pandemic rules and run straight to them to pick them up and look after them for I truly don’t believe […]

Psychiatry and You!

Posted in Uncategorized

Psychiatry and You! I think most of us have taken a bit of a knock to our mental health this year and whether we suffer with disorders which are historic or new, therapy can benefit us all – it certainly is common practice in lots of countries for everyone to have a level of ongoing psychiatry assistance and I think this can only be a good thing which we would do well to invite into our lives as a staple.
