7 habits that will save the psyche: tula psychologist revealed the method

From October 5 to 11, Russia hosts the Mental Health Week, initiated by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Clinical psychologist of Tula Regional Clinical Psychiatric Hospital No. 1 named after N.P. Kamenev Yulia Kurachinova spoke about simple habits that help strengthen mental health and increase resistance to stressful situations.

According to the expert, taking care of the psychological state should be part of everyday life. It is not necessary to use complex methods for this. The expert identified seven main areas.

The first is the right balance of load. Compliance with work and rest, proper sleep and sufficient time for recovery help maintain emotional stability.

Physical activity also plays an important role. Regular exercise strengthens the body and, according to the psychologist, helps reduce anxiety and easier to cope with stress.

Do not forget about nutrition and adequate water consumption. The diet affects the level of energy, concentration and emotional state of a person.

Another recommendation is to give up bad habits. Smoking and drinking alcohol can disrupt sleep, increase anxiety, and negatively affect psychological defense mechanisms.

To manage stress, the psychologist recommends using relaxation techniques. These include breathing practices, meditation, and yoga, which can help prevent burnout.

Special attention was paid to information hygiene. Limiting the amount of content consumed and periodic digital detox reduce the information load and avoid overload.

Another important factor is social support. Communicating with loved ones and feeling like there are people around to support them remains a significant part of psychological well-being.

If it is difficult to cope with the emotional state on your own, residents of the Tula region can turn to psychological assistance offices. As noted in the message, assistance is provided free of charge and anonymously.

Information about the addresses and contacts of psychological care rooms is posted on the official website of the Tula Regional Clinical Psychiatric Hospital No. 1 named after N. P. Kamenev.

Earlier, MK in Tula wrote that Markov urged future Tula doctors to read 15 scientific articles daily. Modern medicine is changing rapidly, so the doctor needs to constantly update his knowledge.
