On this National Call a Friend Day, be the friend who calls your best friend today!
Do you remember those ancient times when we actually dialed numbers and talked without emojis? Grab your phone, dust off those calling skills, and surprise your friend – they might think it’s a telemarketer at first, but hey, who wouldn’t want to chat with you, right?

Are you cricketing?
If you're unconsciously rubbing your feet together during the night, there's now a term for it – it's referred to as “cricket feet" or “cricketing."

This term is derived from the sound crickets make when rubbing their hind legs together. Cricketing can have diverse motivations, such as seeking physical comfort, self-soothing, managing anxiety, and potentially alleviating restless legs syndrome. For some people, cricketing is second nature when they are falling asleep.

While cricketing appears harmless, people with compulsive or disruptive habits are advised to consult a healthcare professional.

Ritalin and Adderall are commonly prescribed stimulant medications for ADHD, aiming to manage symptoms like impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattentiveness. Despite sharing the same goal, they differ in chemical composition, mechanism of action, duration, and cost.

If you need a detailed overview of these two medications, check out the link in our bio.

But please remember that consulting with a healthcare professional is vital for personalized treatment plans and understanding potential risks and benefits. MEDvidi is here for you, always ready to help you make choices that are good for your health and well-being.

"My child has a hard time staying focused and seems restless a lot. It's affecting school and home. I'm thinking it might be ADHD and want to understand and help."
If this kind of thought comes to your mind more than once, it's time to educate yourself about ADHD in children and teens.

ADHD, or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder. While its symptoms may be noticed in younger children, they may present during adolescence and adulthood. Teens with ADHD face higher risks, including engaging in risky behaviors, suicidal thoughts, legal issues, and health problems.
Symptoms may differ between boys and girls, with more boys diagnosed. Swipe left to explore ADHD signs in detail.

❗Please note that diagnosing ADHD in teens involves differentiating it from other disorders through a comprehensive evaluation. Seeking resources and professional guidance can help you navigate the challenges of ADHD.

Unresolved trauma and mental health

Natural disasters, war, terrorist attacks, mass shootings, serious illnesses, car crashes, workplace accidents, r**e, cruel treatment, and many others affect our well-being.

Unresolved trauma occurs when, instead of processing a traumatic event, a person tries to forget about it and suppress their emotions without fully experiencing them, hiding them.

It may lead to depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, heart palpitations, headaches, nausea, digestive problems, etc.

🌱☀️ Online therapy can be a solution for those who have experienced traumatic events and want to care for themselves. In the comfort and privacy of your own space, you can access professional support to navigate the complexities of your experiences.

Have you ever taken steps toward healing from unresolved trauma? Share in the comments! Your story could inspire others on their journey to healing. 💪🌟

Isolation is commonly associated with physical distancing measures implemented to prevent the spread of viruses like COVID-19.

However, there are a lot of factors that can lead individuals to self-isolate:
• Intimate partner violence
• Loss of loved ones
• Mental health problems
• Remote location
• Physical limitations
• Social media
• Unemployment

The following symptoms linked to social isolation serve as red flags for unhealthy social disconnection:
• Avoiding once-enjoyable social interactions
• Skipping plans and feeling relieved when canceled
• Spending much time alone or with few contacts
• Feeling anxious or panicky about social interactions
• Anxiety and depression in loneliness
• Missing support, advice, and friendly talks
• Infrequent text messages, calls, or video chats
• Feeling sluggish, sad, or rejected
• Overreacting to stimuli

Recognize any of these signs? Go through our visual to know how to mitigate isolation's negative impact.

WAYS TO START A GRATITUDE PRACTICE
🌾
Say it out loud.
In the mornings, you can simply take a moment to identify three things you’re grateful for, like the furry coat of your pet cat, your morning coffee, and the sunshine.
🌾
Make a list or write a letter.
One study shows that writing down the things you’re grateful for or writing someone a letter of appreciation can significantly improve mental health.
🌾
Meditate.
Either by sitting or walking, you can simply observe your breath, or the little things around you, like trees in a nearby park, a bird song, the comfort of a favorite couch or chair.
All it takes to reap the benefits of gratitude is a few moments a day, which can help relieve stress, anxiety, and depression.
