Dissociation happens when people feel detached from themselves or the world around them. It?s like their brain "takes a break" from certain thoughts, feelings, or memories, making them feel disconnected.

Exposure therapy helps people face their fears in a safe way. Over time, their fear gets smaller because they learn that the thing they are afraid of isn?t as scary as they thought.

Bipolar disorder causes big mood swings. Sometimes a person feels very energetic and excited (mania), and other times they feel very sad and tired (depression). These ups and downs can be really hard to manage.

Phobias are extreme fears of certain things, like spiders or heights. They can make people avoid activities they would normally do, even though they know the fear isn't logical.

Serotonin is a chemical that helps you feel happy. When people don't have enough serotonin, they can feel sad or depressed. SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) increase serotonin in the brain, helping improve mood.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change negative thoughts and behaviors that make them feel bad. It focuses on solving problems by thinking differently.
