Mental health is one of the most relevant aspects that the world has rediscovered in recent years. As with the body, the head also suffers the exhausting consequences of everyday life, and as soon as we get distracted we can be suffering from pain, pulsations, anxiety, nerves and many more problems. The body must be clean, but the mind may be even more so.
One of the most prominent people in Spain around this cause is the psychiatrist Marian Rojas Estapé, currently the best-selling non-fiction literary author in the country. Her latest book, Recover your mind, reconquer your life, is dedicated to the substance that generates happiness: dopamine, and how the elements around us can cut off its access and generate mental problems, such as anxiety or depression. Rage.
To explain it in more detail, Rojas went to the program Y Ahora Sonsoles on Antena 3, where he was able to expand on the work that dopamine does on our neurological system. Likewise, he expressed how those elements and content that do not make us think could be harmful, since they are responsible for blocking the area of the brain intended to fulfill that function: the prefrontal cortex.
One of the elements that Rojas has highlighted as dangerous is the screen, given the addiction it can cause due to the brief and multiple content that algorithms can present to us. Likewise, he insisted on how people are seeking to follow the same habits that generate dopamine to block stress and other worries, following the same paths.
However, the brain continues to remember what calms it down and makes it feel better, so it can alert the user in addition to sending negative signals. She herself pointed to the fact of being able to know how a person was feeling with a simple look and a brief conversation. “If I understand what is happening to me I feel relieved and it is easier to overcome it. “We find ourselves in a crisis of attention,” she stated.
Marián is not the only person from the Rojas family who has appeared on television this week. His father, also a psychiatrist Enrique Rojas, expressed in TardeAR the keys to being with the perfect partner. The psychiatrist considers it important to try to downplay the importance and not dramatize it depending on what discussions may occur. It is a case of learning to put things into perspective in terms of coexistence, reducing fights from an assertive stance on both sides of the duo.
