SUMMARY: The content discusses the impact of social media on mental health. It highlights the negative effects such as increased feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness due to comparison with others, cyberbullying, and addiction to the constant validation provided by likes and comments. The pressure to present a perfect life online can lead to lowered self-esteem and unrealistic expectations. However, there are also positive aspects of social media including providing support, connecting with others, and raising awareness for important causes. It is important for individuals to be mindful of their social media usage and prioritize their mental well-being.
Tuesday, some members of law enforcement in West Point underwent training on helping people with mental illnesses.
SUMMARY: An emancipation celebration was held in Lou County, commemorating the day in 1865 when the majority of the enslaved population gained freedom. The event at Sanfield Cemetery in Columbus included live music, dancing, and historical reenactments. One performer quoted a Bible verse to emphasize the importance of seeing people as God sees them, not based on appearance. More information about the event and a surprise guest can be found on wtva.com. The celebration highlighted the significance of the day of emancipation and encouraged others to learn more about this important story.

SUMMARY: Children's mental health is at an urgent state, with rates of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and suicide attempts on the rise. Factors such as genetics, physical health, poverty, and adverse childhood events contribute to mental health struggles. The increase in social media usage among kids has also been linked to higher levels of anxiety and depression. Parents are encouraged to have open conversations about mental health, look out for signs of mental health struggles in their children, and prioritize their own mental health as well. Early childhood is critical in building a strong mental health foundation for children. It is important to seek help from primary doctors and mental health professionals when needed.
A pediatric doctor and a licensed professional counselor have seen the state of children's mental health reach a crisis point for more than a decade.
