They don’t speak our language, yet they understand us deeply. 🐾 Animals communicate through behaviour, empathy, mirroring, and choices of their own. Maybe they were never silent, just differently communicative. https://www.psychologs.com/petalks/ #psychology

Perfectionism is often praised as the key to success, but psychology tells a different story. The relentless pursuit of perfection can quietly become a risk factor for anxiety, depression, OCD, and other mental health challenges. True growth does not come from chasing perfection—it comes from embracing progress, balance, and self-acceptance. https://www.psychologs.com/perfectionism-as-a-transdiagnostic-risk-factor/ #psychology

A quick thread on how this therapy is reshaping mental health care. https://www.psychologs.com/ketamine-therapy-a-new-hope-for-depression/ #depression

Panic buying of LPG cylinders and induction stoves has been reported across several parts of India amid concerns over the ongoing Middle East conflict. However, the Centre and major fuel providers, including Hindustan Petroleum, have clarified that India currently has sufficient LPG stock and there is no immediate risk of shortage or price hike. Authorities have also warned against black marketing and spreading misinformation, while the Ministry of Home Affairs has set up 24×7 monitoring of news related to LPG and petroleum to prevent panic.

Many of us feel mentally drained after a normal workday. Long commutes, traffic, crowded roads, noise, and constant stimulation require our brain to stay alert all the time. This continuous use of attention slowly leads to mental fatigue, affecting focus, mood, and decision-making. Attention Restoration Theory (ART) explains how certain environments—especially natural ones—can help restore our mental energy. Even small changes, like taking breaks in calm environments or spending time around greenery, can help our brain recover from attentional fatigue. In today's fast-paced world, restoring attention is just as important as using it. 🌿 Sometimes, the best productivity hack is simply giving your mind a chance to rest. https://www.psychologs.com/attention-restoration-theory-how-nature-recharges-the-human-mind/ #psychology

The ruling reinforces the importance of a patient’s right to a dignified death, prioritising the patient’s best interests in end-of-life decisions. https://www.psychologs.com/supreme-court-milestone-judgement-right-to-dignified-death/ #death

Surrogacy has become an increasingly accepted path to parenthood, but the psychological experience of surrogate mothers is often overlooked. This perspective paper explores surrogacy through John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory and Object Relations Theory, examining how surrogates navigate prenatal attachment while preparing to relinquish the child at birth. Research suggests most surrogate mothers manage this transition well with proper support, though some experience grief or relational conflict after delivery. By integrating psychology, neuroscience, and feminist bioethics, the paper highlights the emotional labour, ethical considerations, and relational dynamics shaping surrogacy today. 🧠 https://www.psychologs.com/attachment-styles-in-surrogate-mothers-an-opinion/ #psychology
