🎮🔥 Do violent video games make kids aggressive? A large UK study found no meaningful link between time spent playing violent games and aggressive behaviour. Sometimes the danger isn’t the game — it’s jumping to conclusions. ↓ tinyurl.com/22wthtxd #VideoGames #ChildMentalHealth #ScienceNotPanic

🎵🧠 Beyond the 27 Club Musicians face higher suicide risk — not because they’re “tortured geniuses”, but because of working conditions: insecurity, pressure, isolation. It’s public health. And it’s preventable. youtu.be/hvDhJPu3pdg #MusicianMentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #MusicIndustry

🧠🏙️ Teenage depression isn’t one-size-fits-all A new video explains how body chemistry and inflammation may affect depression differently in girls and boys — and why girls are at higher risk during adolescence. 🎥 Watch (8-Mins): youtu.be/VfKe4XcL7Ow #TeenMentalHealth #Depression #Neuroscience #CPD

🌰🦠 Almonds & your gut A new study found almonds don’t dramatically change gut bacteria — but they do boost helpful gut chemicals and are easy to tolerate. Not a miracle. Still useful 🌰 👉 Summary: tinyurl.com/mvpecxmu #GutHealth #NutritionScience #Microbiome
