“You can't abandon the concept of normality, or societies will just completely fall apart,” says developmental psychologist and social science scholar J.D. Haltigan, PhD 🏒👨‍💻 There has been a tremendous push in mental health to destigmatize mental illness, he says, and people are encouraged to regard themselves as “some sort of heroic person for having [mental] disorders.” This is true especially for mood disorders like depression and anxiety. People nowadays increasingly define themselves through mood disorders—especially women, who often are more prone than men to depression and internalization of anxiety, he says. Haltigan’s departure from the University of Toronto in 2023 coincided with his growing concerns about what he described as increasing ideological pressures in academic research and restrictions on what researchers could say about mental health and early child development.

Scientists discover surprising link between gut-brain interactions and mental health | Eric W. Dolan, PsyPost A new study provides evidence that the connection between the brain and the stomach may be linked to mental health in a measurable way. Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark, publishing their work in Nature Mental Health, report that a specific pattern of communication between the brain and the stomach reflects how individuals feel emotionally and psychologically. Their findings suggest that these gut-brain interactions can indicate a person’s levels of anxiety, depression, well-being, and overall quality of life. The idea that emotions are linked to physical sensations in the gut is widely reflected in language. People often talk about having “butterflies in the stomach” when nervous, or feeling “sick to the stomach” when distressed. Yet, despite these common expressions, most scientific attention in the field of brain-body interaction has focused on other organs, such as the heart and lungs. These areas have long been studied for their roles in emotion and mood. The researchers were struck by how little was known about how the stomach, in particular, interacts with the brain. While recent studies have explored the influence of gut bacteria and digestion on mental health, very little work had been done on the electrical rhythms of the stomach and how they may directly communicate with the brain’s networks involved in emotion, attention, and cognition. The team behind this new study wanted to explore whether a person’s psychological profile might be reflected in how strongly the stomach and brain are coupled during rest. Their aim was not to link a specific diagnosis like depression to a single brain region, but rather to identify patterns across a broad spectrum of mental health experiences. “Our interest grew from the long-standing discussion about the role of the body in shaping emotion, a question that has fascinated philosophers and scientists for centuries,” said study author Leah Banellis (Leah Banellis), a postdoctoral fellow in Cognitive Neuroscience at Aarhus University. “Yet, while the heart and lungs have received much attention, the stomach has been largely overlooked. This gap struck us as especially surprising, because the link between the stomach and emotional experience feels so intuitive. It is heavily reflected in everyday language, with phrases like ‘butterflies in the stomach,’ ‘sick to our stomach,’ or ‘trust your gut.'” The research was part of the Visceral Mind Project, a large-scale initiative that combines data on brain activity, bodily rhythms, and psychological assessments. The team recorded data from 243 people using a method that captures both electrical signals from the stomach (electrogastrography) and brain activity measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The participants represented a wide range of mental health profiles, from those reporting high well-being to others showing signs of distress, including anxiety, depression, fatigue, and insomnia. To capture this diversity, the researchers didn’t exclude people with psychiatric symptoms or diagnoses. Instead, they aimed for variation, which would allow their models to detect patterns across the mental health spectrum. Each participant underwent a series of recordings while lying still in the MRI scanner. At the same time, sensors on the abdomen captured the stomach’s slow electrical rhythm, which cycles about three times per minute. This rhythm, which originates from specialized cells in the stomach lining, is typically involved in coordinating digestion. But the researchers suspected it might also be linked to mental state. To analyze the relationship between stomach and brain activity, the team used a method that looks at how well the two rhythms align over time. This measure, known as phase-locking value, essentially captures the degree of synchronization between stomach signals and brain signals across different regions. The researchers then combined this data with results from a comprehensive mental health questionnaire. The battery included 37 different scores across a range of domains—such as anxiety, stress, mood, fatigue, attention, sleep quality, and life satisfaction. Using a statistical method known as canonical correlation analysis, they looked for patterns that linked brain-stomach coupling with the participants’ mental health profiles. The analysis revealed a clear and statistically significant pattern. Stronger coupling between the stomach’s rhythm and brain activity was associated with poorer mental health. Individuals who reported more symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and fatigue tended to show increased synchronization between their stomach and brain rhythms. In contrast, those with higher levels of well-being and life satisfaction showed weaker coupling. “For the first time, we’ve found a scientific link between your ‘gut feelings’ and your mental health, showing a surprising connection between your stomach’s natural rhythm and your brain,” Banellis told PsyPost. “Specifically, our study revealed that stronger communication between the stomach and brain is linked to worse mental health, such as higher symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and fatigue, whereas weaker stomach-brain communication aligns with better mental health reflected in higher overall well-being and quality of life.” This stomach-brain signature was not random. It was localized in specific brain networks, particularly those involved in attention, cognitive control, and salience detection. Some of the strongest associations were found in regions like the superior angular gyrus and the posterior frontal and parietal areas—regions often implicated in cognitive tasks and mental health disorders. Importantly, the researchers ran multiple control analyses to ensure the robustness of their findings. They ruled out the possibility that the observed effects were simply due to general brain activity patterns, fluctuations in heart rate or breathing, or basic features of stomach physiology. In other words, the association appeared specific to the coupling between the stomach’s electrical rhythm and particular brain networks—not just a general marker of body or brain state. Their approach was designed to detect broad psychological dimensions rather than focus on one diagnosis. The strongest psychological pattern they found was a spectrum ranging from negative affective states (like anxiety and depression) to positive traits (like well-being and quality of life). This result suggests that the stomach-brain connection is not tied to any one disorder but instead reflects a general mode of psychological functioning. “Anxiety, depression, stress, and fatigue showed the strongest links to stomach-brain communication,” Banellis explained. “While phrases like ‘butterflies in the stomach’ or feeling ‘sick to your stomach’ are common ways we describe emotional distress, it was surprising to find such consistent and clear evidence across these symptoms. Even more unexpected was the direction of the effect: we might have assumed that stronger alignment between the body and brain would be beneficial. Instead, our findings suggest that heightened stomach-brain communication could act more like a warning signal, an internal alarm system reflecting mental strain rather than harmony.” Read more:

A new study of over 50,000 kids just dropped a sobering finding: Kids getting more than 4 hours of screen time a day showed significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression, and attention problems like ADHD. It’s not proving direct cause and effect, but the pattern is clear: when screens replace sleep, physical activity, and real human connection, mental health suffers. The nurse practitioner on FOX Carolina put it simply — it’s less about the exact number of hours and more about what those hours are replacing. Research consistently shows that excessive screen time disrupts melatonin production, reduces deep sleep, and limits opportunities for physical movement and face-to-face interaction — all critical for healthy brain development in children. We’re raising a generation glued to screens, and the mental health fallout is becoming impossible to ignore. Many families are now seeing the difference when kids get more outdoor time and less scrolling. What do you think — are we letting screens take too much from our kids’ development, or do you think the benefits outweigh the risks?

A group of UC Berkeley students did a 9-week digital detox… and the results were striking. Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Sahar Yousef (UC Berkeley Haas) found that participants experienced less anxiety, less depression, and more mindfulness. Some students said they suddenly started noticing all the positive things in their real life once the constant scrolling stopped. Dr. Yousef also raised a concern, noting that heavy daily tech habits may be linked to brain changes: “We’re actually seeing brain atrophy… degradation of certain brain areas related to self-awareness [and] cognitive control.” (Note: This is an emerging area of research — more long-term studies are needed.) This feels very relatable. The longer I step away from endless scrolling, the clearer and calmer my mind seems to get. Our digital habits have become so automatic that we rarely stop to consider their impact on mental health and focus. Have you ever tried even a short digital detox? What difference (if any) did you notice?

Psychologist Jonathan Haidt on why he says social contagion is behind the surge in the number of cases of people claiming to be transgender: "Because it happens in clusters of girls, it happens in clusters of girls who had no previous gender dysphoria when they were young." HAIDT: So there’s very important, older research by Nicholas Christakis and, James Fowler where they looked at, they had gigantic health data sets, the Framingham Heart Study, and they were able to see that, you know, if one person takes up smoking, their friends are more likely to take up smoking, but actually, so are their friends friends and even friends, friends, friends. So the things we do spread out through social network. We affect each other. Now it turns out, when you’re looking at emotions, girls and women, when they study women, when a woman is depressed, that spreads out to her network. Whereas when a man is depressed, it doesn’t. Women talk about their feelings. They’re more connected in that way. Girls are connecting on social media, where it just turns out in many communities, the more anxious and depressed you are, the more you get support. The more extreme your symptoms, the more you get likes and followers. You know, of course it’s good to destigmatize social, mental illness. We don’t want people to be ashamed. But boy, is it a terrible idea to valorize it, to tell young people, ‘You know what? The more you have this, the more popular you’ll be, the more support you’ll get.’ And so you get this explosion, not just of anxiety – anxiety is in part, I think, spread sociogenically, it’s called, from social causes, not from internal causes – but we get it for dissociative identity disorder. And it seems to be the case for gender dysphoria as well. HOOVER: And you think that the data demonstrates that it is above and beyond just the phenomenon of coming out and increased awareness? HAIDT: Yes. Because it happens in clusters of girls. It happens in clusters of girls who had no previous gender dysphoria when they were young. So it’s very different from the kinds of gender dysphoria cases that we’ve known about for decades. I mean, it is a real thing. But what happened, especially when girls got, was YouTube and Instagram early, but then especially TikTok, girls just, you know, girls get sucked into these vortices and they take on each other’s purported mental illnesses.

🚨Oxford Research Team Wraps Up New Study and Concludes: STOP universal mental-health interventions in schools - it makes too many kids worse One of the original Oxford researchers of the 2023 study announces they have published this week an updated study concluding universal school-based interventions based on CBT and mindfulness theories have significant probability of resulting in negative effects, warranting their discontinuance in universal settings. Full text: "Can mental health lessons in schools sometimes make young people feel worse? Well, this is a question that we asked in a review paper that we published this week. And we looked specifically at lessons that taught either CBT [cognitive behavioral therapy] or Mindfulness to groups of young people in schools What we found was that in 9% of these studies something that was supposed to improve like depressed mood or peer relationships ended up getting worse and not better. And when we look specifically at the high quality studies, so the ones with big sample sizes and good statistics that we can really trust, that figure increased to 33%. So, in a third of these studies, something that was supposed to improve ended up getting worse in the group of young people who had these either CBT or mindfulness lessons. Importantly, this only happened in universal interventions, so that's when this mental health information is taught to the whole class, regardless of need. I think this evidence, combined with other evidence that we have, suggests that we should start moving away from this universal approach to mental health in schools where everyone is taught about mental health and move towards more effective approaches like one-to-one support or small group support for people who either want or need it. There's much more information about all of this in the paper, which I will link to."

Jordan Peterson on why social anxiety is really a self-focus problem: Dr Jordan B Peterson explains that social anxiety is fundamentally driven by excessive self-referential thinking. "If you're feeling social anxiety in a situation, part of the reason for that is because you're thinking about how you're feeling." He points to fascinating research on language patterns and mental health. When you analyze the words people use in speech and writing, a striking pattern emerges: the more someone refers to themselves, the more likely they are to be depressed or psychotic. "You can actually distinguish with 75% accuracy between people who are clinically depressed or clinically psychotic and people who aren't by the number of times they refer to themselves." The core insight is simple but powerful: "The more you think about yourself, the more miserable you are." But Peterson warns against the obvious trap in trying to fix this. You can't just tell yourself to stop thinking about yourself. That's still thinking about yourself, and you'll fall into the same pit. Instead, he offers a practical redirect: "If what you decide to do is to pay way more attention to the other person and try to make them comfortable, then that social anxiety will disappear." The solution is a redirection. Rather than fighting your own self-consciousness, you shift your entire attention outward. Make the people around you more comfortable. Focus on them, not on how you're coming across. It's a counterintuitive reframe: the cure for feeling awkward is caring less about your own performance and more about the person in front of you.

Alex Jones breaks down the latest nutritional science, and it confirms what he's said for years. A major new study finds that eating meat may not be linked to a higher risk of death and may even protect against cancer. He highlights that this aligns with what was known decades ago when the American Heart Association promoted processed seed oils—"engine lubricants"—over natural foods. Now, research reveals unprocessed red meat has no adverse effect on obesity, and within a high-quality diet, it supports mental health, helps grow the brain, and can improve your mood. The narrative is finally catching up to the truth: meat is a foundational part of a healthy human diet, despite the agendas of figures like Bill Gates who continue to attack it.

Jason Calacanis: “No good comes from kids on social media … and the industry wants them addicted” “Rough week for Zuck. Two verdicts went against Meta in two days. They were first found liable for allowing child predators to access minors on Facebook and Instagram. Then on Wednesday, an LA jury found Meta and YouTube negligent for designing addictive platforms that harmed a young user's mental health. No good comes out of kids under 16 using social media. Kids who use this 2-3 hours a day, it's massively correlated with depression and anxiety, and eating disorders, specifically in young girls. It's obviously addicting. Obviously, the industry has not policed itself, nor would they police themselves because they want to get people addicted now, so they're addicted when they're adults. The rest of the world has realized this. Australia now has 16 enforced, Malaysia, 16. Other countries are right behind them, Spain, Germany, the UK. So labeling, information, and age gating would be the logical things to do for social media, and that's what's happened in the past. If Android and Apple showed leadership with Facebook and said, ‘We're going to, by default, when you buy a phone, you're going to have to verify kids under a certain age,’ we could solve this problem. And then parents would (have to) opt in to giving their kids access to this.”

A reported 400% rise in early-onset dementia diagnoses among 35–45 year olds in Australia. Neuroscientist Dr. Mark Williams linked it on 9 News Australia to sharply increased daily screen time. He also noted the first generational decline in intelligence levels in history, partly blamed on modern device habits. The brain is highly plastic. Research shows that reducing constant screen stimulation and increasing deep focus activities (reading, real conversations, etc.) can strengthen attention, memory, and cognitive reserve. Williams says simple changes — more time with people, reading books, and less scrolling — can help support brain health. Our everyday tech habits may be shaping long-term brain health more than we realize. Many people report noticeably better focus and mental clarity when they cut back on screens. What do you think — have you noticed any difference in your thinking or memory with heavier screen use, or do you think this connection needs more research?

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay & this video is about my anxiety — that underrated, self-sabotaging illness that chips away at self-love and steals my peace when i dont face it, control it, talk about it. Everyone is fighting a battle in their mind, some big sone small. Mental health isn’t always loud or visible. Sometimes it’s that quiet whisper inside your head — the anxiety, the pressure, the feeling of not being enough. Talking changes everything. It’s the first step to healing, to rebuilding, and to taking back control of negative thought loops in your mind. Strength isn’t about pretending everything’s fine — it’s about being honest, open, and vulnerable. I’ve built a men’s community on Facebook 60,000 strong— a space where we can talk, be real, and lift each other up. It’s grown into something bigger than I ever imagined. We’ve built something real — a place where honesty, connection and support come before judgement. It became a movement, and now a charity — all built from that same belief: Vulnerability is not weakness, its strength. We need to continue to talk about whats going on in our minds with each other.. For ourselves. For our families. For every man who’s ever felt he had to suffer in silence. Let’s stand up. Let’s talk. Let’s take back control.

Dr. Sabine Hazan raised a chilling point on the Digital Social Hour: A new study shows 75% of newborns lack sufficient bifidobacteria — the key gut bacteria that helps break down plastic and supports healthy development. Only 25% have adequate levels. She connects the dots: exploding rates of autism (now 1 in 12 boys in some places), cancer, Parkinson’s, and other conditions may be linked to the collapse of our microbiome. We’re killing the very bacteria that help us process modern toxins, and the long-term consequences could be catastrophic. We’re so focused on viruses and short-term crises that we’re missing what’s happening to the next generation’s foundational biology. It’s a reminder that gut health might be far more important than we’ve been treating it. What do you think — should we be paying way more attention to the microbiome and early-life gut health before it’s too late?

Only 25% have adequate levels. She connects the dots: exploding rates of autism (now 1 in 12 boys in some places), cancer, Parkinson’s, and other conditions may be linked to the collapse of our microbiome. We’re killing the very bacteria that help us process modern toxins, and the long-term consequences could be catastrophic. We’re so focused on viruses and short-term crises that we’re missing what’s happening to the next generation’s foundational biology. It’s a reminder that gut health might be far more important than we’ve been treating it. What do you think — should we be paying way more attention to the microbiome and early-life gut health before it’s too late?

Short-form videos are literally rotting kids’ brains—and the science is stacking up fast. A major new meta-analysis (covering studies over the last decade) shows heavy TikTok/Reels/YouTube Shorts consumption is strongly linked to: - Shorter attention spans - Reduced logical & analytical reasoning - Weaker memory - Poorer impulse control - Increased anxiety Dr. Cheryl Ziegler (mental health expert): “These are quick dopamine hits with shallow, mindless content. For developing brains (ages 10–18 especially), it conditions kids to find books, deep thinking, and anything slow ‘boring.’ It’s not defiance—it’s rewiring.” She stresses: We can’t yet prove causation (long-term studies needed), but the correlation is strong enough that parents should treat it like a major red flag—right up there with proven harm. Bottom line: Endless scrolling isn’t harmless entertainment. It’s training young minds for instant gratification and shallow processing at the exact age when deeper neural pathways should be forming. Parents: How bad is the short-video habit in your house—and what (if anything) are you doing to push back? Source: 9NEWS (YouTube)
