What can you do to have good mental health? How to identify when someone needs help before it is a crisis.
Dr. Jennifer Penrose interviews Craig Dickson who has his Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. He has worked with kids and adults regarding loss, negative thought patterns, anxiety, depression and troubled teens and families. We discuss what is good mental health and how all of us can practice good mental health and how to recognize when others and children are not exhibiting good mental health.
Only about 40% of all US adults suffering from anxiety get treatment. And many times anxiety leads to more negative thought patterns and into depression and then that if left untreated can lead to suicide. Teenagers especially need more help navigating the social media world and recognize when negative thought patterns are not true and establish good mental health practices.
We discuss how we continue to find out how nutrition and vitamin deficiencies affect mental health. Psychiatrists can tell you that many times lack of Vitamin B12 can present as chronic fatigue, mood disorder, and even hallucinations.
Mental health counselors are finding Genesnp testing to be very helpful in ADD and other learning and behavior issues in children.

ETV5 is the ADD/ADHD gene. Individuals with ADD have the benefit of being able to hyper-focus but can also be easily distracted. The CC and CT variants for ETV5 highlight potential challenges with neurotransmitter levels which will benefit from sleep and appropriate nutritional support. Amazing results with children are happening with children labeled as ADHD/ADD once they got Genesnp testing and provided the right nutritional support.
Overall some great tips to keeping good mental health: journal, meditate, pray, read, go outside, exercise, find your “tribe” or community that you identify with, sleep, take vacations and time to rest and recharge, and nutrition! Eat fresh and avoid processed foods, sugars, and refined carbohydrates.
