Mental health tracker #mentalhealth #lifestyle

I have tools and system to track blood pressure, blood sugar etc. and could take actions to maintain them at healthy levels.

I need tools like that for mental health.

There seems to be a related problem ( /problems/61 ) but that seems to focus on those who are already know that they are suffering from a mental health disease and require a way to track it; Mine is about those who are relatively healthy and would like to keep their mental health in check.

Remote work is making me lonely and depressed #remote #mentalhealth

Sun, 06 Jun 2021 02:08:00 +0000

I am a jolly type person who enjoys the relationships we make at office. For the past 1.5 years I have been working remotely due to the pandemic and I feel very lonely, depressed due to that.

Worst of all it looks like the remote work is going to be permanent and switching jobs is not an option as all other firms are offering remote work only.

Are you in the same position as me? What have you done to cope with this situation?

Personalised medicine for depression #mentalhealth #treatment

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 12:48:00 +0000

It is not just that depression is hard, treating depression itself is very hard. Due to number of variables for the occurrence of depression like environment, genetics and numerous other factors in the brain; most common treatments available for depression don't work for everyone.

Patients with depression often have to undergo, long cycles of medication to see if the particular treatment has any positive feedback. Current treatment for depression like SRI/SNRI medications do work for many after several weeks but if it doesn't then the long course of medications, usually with side-effects are useless.

There is a need gap for personalised medicine for depression, where the patient can be diagnosed fast, easily and accurate medication be prescribed immediately instead of current trial & error type of depression treatments.

I would like to have a mechanism by which users can check their mental health regularly themselves through a series of standardised tests. This would be very useful for someone with hereditary mental illness and would like to keep a tap on their mental health.

There are numerous occasions by which someone may be at the risk of mental illness apart from hereditary reasons e.g. environment, age, side-effect from infections of implants, accidents, medication etc.

An easily accessible system with which a user can track the progress of their mental health would bring more awareness towards mental health and its treatment. A fitbit for mental health?

Listening to bird songs from different regions #music #mentalhealth

Listening to bird sounds is now recognized to have positive impact on mental health, So how about selecting a particular region on the earth and listing to high quality bird songs? There some good YT playlists but they offer limited options to select birds or regions.
