Did you know? This is an interim bonus episode in which I bring some non-expert, but studied and researched clarification to many terms used in the mental health realm. Let's break down terminology and understand differences between such things as neurological and psychiatric conditions, genetics and epigenetics, neuroplasticity, neurodiverse vs neurodivergent, mindfulness vs awareness, natural vs holistic, types of trauma and more. There will be some myth-busting, dot-connecting, and good ol' referencing! I hope you find this useful! If there is something you would like a better understanding or explanation of that I don't mention, please let me know! I'd be happy to do another episode like this! healingwithsway@outlook.comSources cited:https://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.e3454https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4629069/https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/freud-fluoxetine/201912/why-do-we-separate-psychiatry-and-neurologyhttps://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/what-is-neurodiversity-202111232645https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/highly-sensitive-personhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/abcs-child-psychiatry/201512/psychiatric-vs-neurological-can-the-brain-tellIntro/Outro audio credit: Happy Tree by Joseph AlesciMental health, terms, terminology, definition, psychology, autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, CPTSD, trauma, OCD, BPD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, dyslexia, Parkinson's, brain, nervous system, regulation, DNA, RNA, neuroplasticity, neurodivergent, neurodiversity, neurological, psychiatric, neuroscience, genetics, cognitive, somatic, placebo, mindfulness, awareness, natural, holistic
