9 Steps to Ruin Your Mental Health (Don't do this!)
This is one of those "what not to do" videos that includes 9 steps to ruin your mental health. If you want to be happy and have a fulfilling life, these are things not to do. Our minds tend to respond more to potential threats or danger than to ideas of what we should ideally do. That's why the negative approach is helpful for some people. However, don't take the video too seriously. We all have room for improvement. The most helpful way to use videos like this is to pick out one or two key points from the video to focus on improving instead of possibly getting overwhelmed and doing nothing because it seems like you can identify with several of the points (many people can). Please be kind to yourself!
I'm Dr. Jeff Knuppel, a psychiatrist (M.D.) with over 20 years of practice experience. I'm a licensed healthcare professional (physician) in the U.S. My goal is to create helpful and interesting videos about mental health and self-improvement.

    Well said start low & go slow. Starting the "normal dose" is hard on ur mind & body. Less side effects. And some are happy on the lower dose. Doctors keep upping dose when youre feeling worse, instead of being alittle patient you may be surprised how well you do on a lower dose not the "normal dose "

    What do you think of 1mg Xanax (as needed ) I do take it everyday . I never am short on meds each month and I’ve been on this dose close to 3 years with no need to up my dose. I’m prescribed bc I’ve had a traumatic experience in 2021 . I got covid and gave it too my mother who passed away from it . Which deep down I blame myself for jt since I gave it too here. This medicine is the only thing that keeps the noise down in my head when I need jt too . Do you think I’m a candidate for long term use.

    I'm elderly. My podiatrist prescribed gabapentin for advanced neuropathy but didn't explain side effects. During the year that I took gabapentin, I developed brain fog, so I just stopped taking it. At the time, my new diabetic doctor had prescribed Losartan to protect my kidneys. My cardiologist figured out that it was causing my dizziness, so I stopped taking too. I believe that many of us seniors are overly medicated. I have ten prescribed meds plus supplements.

    I have severe CPTSD, ocd and agoraphobia. The only drug I have ever taken that help with my panic attacks is xanex. Moved and had to see a new psychiatrist. She instantly took me off of xanex and followed a long trend of treating my anxiety with blood pressure meds. At one point I was on 7 different blood pressure medications. So I started passing out.
