Curiosity is considered as a mental illness, then that's what causes people to ask a lot of questions. I don't think that wanting to know more is a mental illness. In fact, I'd say that failing to ask a lot of questions is a mental illness. There is a notation in our society that someone asking too many questions has some problem. Why is curiosity mixed with mental health? @nnikittadudannii

Intellectual curiosity is generally regarded as a positive and enriching trait that contributes to personal growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. It is not considered a direct cause of mental illness or psychological problems later in life. In fact, intellectual curiosity is often associated with higher levels of engagement, creativity, and resilience. However, it is important to consider that excessive or unbalanced preoccupations with certain topics or intellectual pursuits can potentially have an impact on mental health. For instance, individuals who become excessively obsessed or preoccupied with certain subjects may neglect other important areas of their life, such as relationships, self-care, or responsibilities. This excessive focus can lead to social isolation, neglect of physical health, or difficulties in maintaining meaningful connections with others.

Curiosity itself is not a mental illness. It's a natural human trait that drives learning and exploration. However, excessive questioning or obsession with certain topics can sometimes be associated with mental health conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

tbh, as a practiconer i am hearing it for the first time that curiosity is mental health condition. IT IS NOT! being curious symbolizes an inquisitive mind.

my friend texted me and told me that she is feeling sad, but i did not know how to react to it. can someone plz tell me what do i say if someone says they are not feeling good and are sad??
ask your friend some basic questions like "is something bothering them? or "do they want to talk about the situation why they are feeling so? or be empathetic and ask them if they would want to go out to change their mood and do something crazy?"

I struggle with emotional eating during stressful times. What strategies can I use to manage this better ?
Identify your emotions and situations which leads you to unhealthy eating pattern and try to incorporate healthy alternative there. That's it! Then you are good to go girl.
Hi there, I hope you are well. If you struggle from emotional eating, during stressful times, then, here's what you can do. - Maintain a journal and jot down which food you are likely to crave during those times, whether it is salty, sugary, spicy, fried, etc. - Write the foods you are most likely to reach out to in case of a stressful situation. - Ask yourself as to whether you are hungry or trying to eat because you are stressed. - Learn to differentiate between physical hunger and emotional hunger. - Try to distract yourself by talking to a friend, listening to music, indulging in a hobby, some exercise, dancing, etc. - Avoid stocking unhealthy foods at home, and if you are likely to order online, then, delete foods apps completely. - Honour your cravings once a while, so that you don't end up Overeating whenever you are emotionally down. - Try to eat healthier alternatives of your favourite foods. - Opt for meditation or yoga as and when you feel emotionally stressed or drained :)
