- Dr. Wendy Suzuki is a renowned neuroscientist and professor of Neural Science and Psychology at New York University. Her groundbreaking work has significantly advanced our understanding of the brain's plasticity and its capacity to change and adapt in response to various stimuli, including physical activity and emotional states. A central focus of Dr. Suzuki's research has been exploring the intricate relationship between brain health, memory, and anxiety.
Through her innovative studies, Dr. Suzuki has shed light on how regular physical activity can profoundly impact the brain's structure and function, leading to improved memory, mood, and overall cognitive function. This body of work has been pivotal in highlighting the potential of exercise as a powerful tool for managing anxiety and stress, offering compelling evidence of the mental health benefits of physical activity.
Dr. Suzuki's contributions to the field extend beyond her research. She is a gifted communicator, dedicated to sharing her knowledge and insights with a broader audience through lectures, books, and various media appearances. Her book "Healthy Brain, Happy Life" combines personal narrative with scientific exploration, making the complex workings of the brain accessible and engaging to readers and emphasizing the critical role of lifestyle choices in brain health and emotional well-being.
Through her passionate advocacy for brain health, Dr. Wendy Suzuki continues to inspire individuals to harness the power of their brains to foster a sense of well-being, manage anxiety, and live fuller, more vibrant lives. Her work not only illuminates the paths through which exercise and mental health are interconnected but also encourages a societal shift towards prioritizing brain health as a fundamental aspect of overall health.
Crazy right. This mechanism was created to protect my ancestors from threats that could kill them. And I make use of it to freak out over a PowerPoint presentation 😅
I've started working on projects when my anxiety goes up. It takes a minute, but it does help.
Could you please elaborate on what kind of projects?
@ISayNukem yes please share with me as well dear
The solution is simple. Learning and practice.
I love you, BT! You help me understand myself and my world more deeply without telling me what to think. That’s education and it’s getting harder to find. ❤
In psychology this would be an example of a maladaption - an adaption which has happened but not to the benefit of the organism. Being aware of maladaptive processes helps a lot when trying to counter feelings of unease you can't quite put your finger or, or can't quite justify. It's not you, it's your brain and evolution!
Once the physiology kicks in and you are pumping out cortisols and adrenaline and other stress chemistry, it will take a while to calm back down. That chemistry doesn't just disappear.
In chronic anxiety, you're in this perpetual fight-or-flight mode where it feeds on itself. The amygdala has shut down the thinking part of the brain, even though you are not in an imminent life-threatening situation.
You are stuck there until you burn out - or the deadline for whatever you're afraid of passes. Then, the amygdala waits for something else equally inappropriate to kick it into action again. That's when you need medical or psychological intervention.
Wonderful explanation
That is insane, so I have to treat my anxiety in a cool and lighter way
Listening to music and singing along helps my anxiety for some reason. I wonder how that's related?
Involves deeper breathing and breath control, and change of attention focus.
Cheers!❤
Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom
Nice!
Anxiety does suck. I just write down what I am anxious about read it back and ask myself, (“would this really happen? Is this what I want?”) Then I laugh and move on.
With anxiety, what new cutting edge treatments are being developed currently in order to reduce or cure this problem? Some people cannot take ssri medication and everything else seems to be either a joke or so controlled you can't get it due to people's abuse. Let alone most current treatments are very dated.
Transcranial Magnetics
Stimulation (TMS) although it is still being studied specifically for anxiety, it looks very promising.
So how to prevent that thing(Prefrontal cortex) from being shut down?
You can train your brain through meditation and other calming methods involving slow breathing. Stepping away from the situation, walking outside, etc. It’s a gradual process to develop this skill
Cardio also helps a lot, because afterwards your general stress levels are lower making ut less likely to switch off
Plenty of yoga.
@@cinajawa Thank you ❤️
For me CBD oil helps . But then one should not purely depend on substance and develop skills like others mentioned so you can be prepared when the substance is not there as well
I just googled this info and here it is 10 shorts after. Come onnnnn
They say sour candy helps ease/mitigate anxiety. The sour takes your mind off the matter and focuses on the moment instead. Then change the station.
I thought sugar isn’t so great for the adrenal glands. Imagine always snacking on sugar to try to calm anxiety then always bring on a sugar high
❤
I have anxiety
My anxiety is crippling I just had the worst night because of it
I like your motorcycles dr
I have back pain at 17
Yuuus
I'm a blind follower of Osho 😊
Anxiety meaning without having sex 😊😊
I sometimes wonder if I didn't damage my brain growing up. I used to, gently, tap my head on my pillow as I fell asleep. An ex told me I still did it sometimes apparently. Not sure if that's where my crazy anxiety comes from
Unless your pillow was rock hard I don’t see how that’s possible to damage your brain by gently tapping on a soft pillow
put some weed in there, no worries
No thanks
