Die Covid-#Pandemie zeigte den Anstieg psychischer Belastungen in Krisensituationen mehr als deutlich. So stieg die Zahl der Personen mit einer #Depression oder #Angststörung weltweit um 25% an.

Neben Auswirkungen auf die körperliche Gesundheit, aufgrund von #Hitze, Extremwetterereignissen oder Ernährungsunsicherheit, hat diese auch Auswirkungen auf die psychische #Gesundheit 😶‍🌫️ #mentalhealth

It's official: Elders concerned about cognitive decline can stay sharper for longer by eating healthier and exercising their bodies and brain. That's according to results published in JAMA Monday from a rigorous U.S. study of lifestyle changes in seniors at risk of developing dementia. People practicing healthier habits slowed typical age-related cognitive decline, achieving scores on brain tests as if they were a year or two younger.

Powered by artificial intelligence, the tool will be able to assess a person's age based on the types of videos they've watched, the categories of the videos, and how long the person has had their account—regardless of the birthday associated with it.

The Trump administration has announced a plan to scrap a landmark finding that greenhouse gases are harmful to the environment, severely curbing the federal government's ability to combat climate change. The U.S. is a major contributor to global climate change, ranked second only to China, which emits more planet-warming gases like carbon dioxide. Experts have warned that the move could have a devastating impact on the environment.

#notjustsad und kämpfend solange es geht. Auch jene bei denen es leider nicht mehr ging. Man kann es totschweigen oder sich ihrer erinnern.
