Throughout the day we experience many emotions and pulls towards action. In times of distress, these feelings can be especially intense and confusing, making it hard to know what action to take. Our emotional regulation system plays a crucial role in helping us manage and respond to these feelings, giving us a greater sense of control over our emotional experiences. On World Brain Day, we celebrate the incredible capabilities of our emotional regulation system to help us manage life's twists and turns.

The United States is experiencing a significant shortage of mental health care providers. Over 168 million Americans live in areas designated as Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas without sufficient access to mental health services. This shortage is particularly severe in rural areas, with more than half of U.S. counties without a single psychiatrist! Initiatives such as integrating mental health services into primary care settings and promoting telemedicine programs are a start, but the demand for mental health services just continues to grow. Raising awareness and talking about this disparity is the first step to making sure that all Americans have access to the mental health support that they need!

Talma Hendler MD PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University, Director of the Sagol Brain Institute, and Chief Medical Scientist at GrayMatters Health, presented an informative session called "Crossing the Bridge: From Idea to Biomarker" at The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)'s workshop on Neurofeedback Intervention Development. In this workshop, researchers and federal officials reviewed neurofeedback (NF) for mental disorders, including EFP (EEG-fMRI-Pattern) NF, focusing on new opportunities and challenges in bringing innovative technology from the lab to patient care.

Happy July 4th! As we celebrate today, let's extend our support and compassion to the brave and heroic veterans who have served our country. If you are celebrating with someone living with PTSD, consider these helpful tips: - Communicate: Have a conversation beforehand about their preferences and triggers. - Be Mindful of Fireworks: Loud noises and flashing lights can be triggering. - Plan Timing: If loud noises are a concern, confirm when fireworks begin in your town so you can head home. - Create Smaller Gatherings: Offer smaller, more intimate spaces so guests can avoid large groups if they wish. Together, we can support those with living with PTSD while enjoying this special occasion.
