It comes with a different name. Some call it Guardian Angel, some use instinct and intuition interchangeably, some call it gut feeling, and the spiritual community calls it Inner Knowing or Higher Self. In this video, you will learn one of the many real-life stories and encounters that illustrate how dangerous it can be when you ignore your intuition. You will learn about the science behind it, where it is located, and how to learn to trust your intuition. It may be the saving grace in your life going forward.
If critical thinking can be improved, is it possible that it can decline too? In this video you will learn what causes the great decline of your critical thinking and the dire consequences for ignoring it.
How to stop putting your partner on a pedestal? Finding the one is not easy but you can minimise falling for someone too soon because you are desperate to find your partner. It is easy to put someone in a pedestal especially when they appear to have similar personality as you. Or so you thought. In this video, you will learn the 4 key things to avoid falling too soon and getting obsessed of your partner at an early stage of your relationship. You will learn how to navigate your biases and avoid attracting the wrong person again.
This video investigates the hidden, long-term harms of COVID-19 lockdowns and social isolation—what I call “The Silent Killer.” Using global case studies (Bangladesh, Japan, South Korea, the UK), personal testimony and scientific research, we trace how enforced isolation, economic shock and uncertainty produced a mental-health emergency: increased depression, anxiety, substance abuse, domestic harm and rising suicide rates. We explore neuroscience (how the brain constructs emotion), biological impacts of chronic stress (telomere shortening, immune dysregulation), links between Long COVID and suicidal risk, and why men have seen rising suicide rates after the pandemic. Featuring real life stories, expert viewpoints (Dr. Daniel Amen, the Great Barrington Declaration, WHO findings) and UK domestic-harm reports, the video argues that social isolation can be deadlier than the virus itself when you account for downstream psychosocial and biological damage. It also offers practical, research-backed ways to rebuild social safety: disconnect to reconnect, active listening, vulnerability, and small behavioural changes that rebuild trust and belonging in a fragmented society. Resources & help If you or someone is in crisis, contact local emergency services or your national mental-health helpline immediately.

Statement 1: Inflammation/Illness and Mental Health Conditions
Research has consistently shown that inflammation and illness can have a profound impact on mental health. Here are some key findings:
Inflammation and Depression: Studies have found that individuals with depression have higher levels of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) (Raison et al., 2017; Dowlati et al., 2010).
Cytokine-induced Depression: Cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), can induce depressive-like behaviors and symptoms (Raison et al., 2017).
Neuroinflammation and Mental Health: Neuroinflammation has been implicated in various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia (Li et al., 2018; Liu et al., 2019).
Hormonal Imbalance: Illness and inflammation can disrupt hormonal balances, including cortisol, insulin, and thyroid hormones, which can contribute to mental health conditions (Kirschbaum et al., 1999).
Statement 2: External Stress, Cortisol, Inflammation, and Mental Health Conditions
The relationship between external stress, cortisol, inflammation, and mental health conditions is well-documented:
Cortisol and Inflammation: Chronic stress can lead to increased cortisol levels, which can promote inflammation and contribute to mental health conditions (Kirschbaum et al., 1999).
Stress and Depression: Studies have consistently shown that stressful life events, such as unemployment, financial loss, and relationship strains, can increase the risk of depression (Kendler et al., 2003).
Cortisol and Brain Chemistry: Elevated cortisol levels can affect brain chemistry, including the regulation of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which are involved in mood regulation (McEwen, 2007).
Inflammation and Mental Health: Chronic inflammation has been linked to various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and suicidal behavior (Li et al., 2018; Liu et al., 2019).
