May is Mental Health Awareness Month–so let’s take a look at some general tips that can help improve almost anyone’s mental health.
Prioritize Cognitive Well-Being
Your brain is your most vital asset. Regular cognitive checkups—especially after a concussion, brain injury, or ongoing memory issues—can help identify early signs of cognitive decline or other concerns. Early intervention is key.
Practice Neuroplasticity Every Day
Engage in activities that challenge your brain: learn a new skill, practice mindfulness, or play strategy games. These habits stimulate brain health and support emotional resilience.
Understand the Brain–Body Connection
Mental health is deeply connected to physical health. A good night’s sleep, balanced nutrition, and physical activity directly support mood, memory, and focus.
Address Cognitive Fog
Feeling mentally sluggish or forgetful? It could be more than stress. Conditions like ADHD, anxiety, or even long COVID can impact your thinking. A neuropsychological evaluation can help clarify the cause and guide treatment.
Break the Stigma, Start the Conversation
Dr. Bonesteel encourages open, informed discussions about mental health. Whether it’s a loved one or yourself, speaking up is a sign of strength—not weakness.
Stay Informed
Follow evidence-based resources and healthcare professionals, like those at NeuroHealth Associates, for trusted guidance. Mental health is a science, and staying informed empowers better care.
Don’t Ignore Early Warning Signs
Trouble concentrating, mood changes, or memory lapses? Don’t wait. Neuropsychologists are trained to detect subtle brain-behavior changes before they escalate.
Support Caregivers and Families
Mental health isn’t only individual. Families impacted by dementia, brain injury, or learning disorders benefit from support, education, and coping tools. Caregivers matter too.
