After a 1 minute recap of each video, I’ll be available for questions on these topics or any other related to Mental Health.
- Anger and Mental Health:
Anger arises when we perceive something to be unfair, important, and that we can't do much about it immediately. Once one is aware of their anger, then someone has an opportunity to deal effectively with this. This may involve methods to decrease or eliminate anger, usually by reframing a situation. At other times, it is useful to channel or redirect anger, to fight strategically for what you deem to be fair. Unregulated anger usually triggers anger in response, which tends to escalate and be unproductive.
- Smiling and Mental Health:
Genuine smiles signal both socially, and to the self, that one feels happy. Smiling is correlated with better health, greater resistance to infection, and enhanced social connections. Smiling can be contagious. Social, or Duchenne smiles, where the lips curl up but the eyes don't light up, conveys that an emotion other than genuine happiness is being felt.
