MAHA for Mental Health

“Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups… So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”
― Philip K. Dick, in 1978

Author’s Note

In the quote above, a group that isn’t mentioned becomes our duty to do so —we must address the spurious realities within our Education system.

We must respond to this question: Are the brain-washed guilty of brain-washing others?

Academia and Institutions, where psychologists - and the like - learn their trade, and earn their credentials, are being radicalized by Idiocracy. Our shared reality is in jeopardy, because these schools have taught graduates to despise common-sense, then sends them into the world believing they are justified (and “special”).

What’s happening is: Politics has breached these sciences. Ideology-and-Incentive infused Mental Health Care is persisting in the Behavioral Sciences\ Medicine \ Liberal Arts \ Cognitive Disciplines, and becoming the orthodoxy, unless we establish new standards.

Any given mental-health-professional will have a varying level of expertise, training, and indoctrination. But, in a clinical setting, where are the boundaries of this indoctrinated reality? Are their beliefs being covertly imposed on us?

We deserve accountability for this new paradigm of politicized health-care to fully protect our sanity. Vulnerable patients may be walking into rooms to receive unethical, unscientific, or overtly-biased treatment. Patients will receive it, pay for it, yet may remain totally naive to the degree of manipulation.

Steve McGuire (@sfmcguire79) on X

Practitioners must draw a line and resist this derangement from material reality, denounce all ideological virtue-signaling, scrutinize all subversive political rhetoric, and remain un-bought-off by special interests.

No ‘expert’ is exempt from our strictest critique as patients of doctors, no matter how many degrees they have or papers they’ve published, or news broadcasts they’ve appeared on. We must always be freely able to challenge this precedent, and #MAHA must help us be better equipped to do so.

MAHA for Mental Health reacts to this dilemma by providing a public vehicle for supporting new perspectives, developing critiques, and offering reforms that can restore power to the patient.

The future belongs to REALISTS.

What needs to change in how we treat our mental health in this country?

Please, share your opinions below.

The Mission: Make America Sane Again

This “MASA” congregation for Mental & Brain Health seeks to advance the Quality of Medical Care & Resources for all Americans, ESPECIALLY those suffering from a mental or neurodevelopment disorder.

A sane population is using their senses.
Sanity can perceive the future, chase big dreams, and coexist in harmony.
Sanity processes complex events within a balanced scope of reality, and recovers quickly from disruption.

Our sanity is being challenged by America-Last actors. But as long as we have our wits, and know our rationales wholeheartedly, their surreal agenda will have no penetrating effect.

However, if we are endlessly preoccupied with hot global-wars and cold civil/political wars, we will definitely lose our minds, and lose our country.

We shouldn’t overlook a massive opportunity to address another major (and now with Trump as President-Elect, I suspect, rapidly-growing) crisis in our country: the failures of our Psychological Health.

Zeroing-Out and Opting-In

The best way to interact w/ this policy-platform is: as an incubating THINK-TANK.
Let this serve us as a nest of many ideas and perspectives for reversing this singular crisis — everything from tracing it’s origins to curtailing it’s devastating effects.

The current phase of this policy is:

1. Gathering good information: to understand the first-hand truth of what is happening in the psychology services, and why we are mentally ill.
2. Demystify and debunk our subjective reality: will encourage a movement of objectivity, critical thinking, and continuous questioning of the establishment.
3. Discuss, distill, and engage respectfully: with related policies in order to form a diverse framework of useful ideas + data.
4. Set aside ideologies and infinite bias, to concentrate on achieving individual liberty through adaptation: troubleshooting systemic issues affecting our health.
5. MASA Policy-Projects: will function as the foundational template for deliberate pathways of research that shall constitute a new regime, within the mental-health-industrial-complex of America.

It’s time to Make American Sane Again.

Root Causes of Our Imminent Collapse

1. The 1st inherent problem, is that Mental Illness can be invisible, unless you know where to look.
2. The 2nd inherent problem, is that it may only “present as a disorder” in a minority of individuals.
3. The 3rd inherent problem, is cohesion of information, and the lack of new ideas and policy which should be incorporating multiple points-of-failure into single solutions. Analogously: We need to drive holistic approaches that look at how the entire body is functioning synergistically. This means discontinuing a siloed approach of physical health VERSUS mental health.
4. The 4th inherent problem, is that sufferers-with and victims-of compromised mental health may not possess the basic Cognition, the Willpower, or the Understanding of the tools & resources they would need to help themselves, even if solutions exist.
5. The 5th inherent problem is the Systemic problem of public health services. The corruption of regulatory agencies, institutions, publications - all of which conduct politicized, or incentive-based research, which filters into the private practices — by ideologues who are adopting this treasonous reality and wielding it in the name of public service and healing.
   And then, the capture of government by corporations with vested interests in outcomes of American policy, allow it to stray entirely too far from the pragmatic measures of treating the root causes.
6. The 6th inherent problem stems out of the Systemic interference mentioned above. There is no incentive for many individuals to truly heal themselves and stay the course of correction— as long as they are dependent on the state for supportive services. Therefore, Any measure of state intervention into medical and therapeutic rehabilitation must be, by design, for the graduation of patients out from this state of dependency.

“MASA” Reform Proposals

{Edits, Additions, and Refinements are Ongoing + Perpetual here}

• new strategies for affordable care options, especially for those without health insurance ($100 per therapy session is too much). One of the major hurdles to starting therapy is a feeling that it may be a very abstract dedication of funds & time: very expensive, with no guarantee of outcome. Repeated Trials with new therapists “to find the right fit” can be a very difficult sacrifice to make, especially for those who already struggle with daily function and stress-management.

• new laws for permitting use of psychedelic micro-dosing (mushrooms & mdma).

• Remove all of the DEI, wokism and manualized interventions from the training programs of clinical psychologists and mental health clinicians. The profession of psychology has become so politicized and has lost its foundational principles of understanding and treating the human condition.

• The true efficacy and data published of different therapy-styles (e.g. CBT vs. Psychoanalytical).

• We need to take a deep look at online therapy companies and determine if these services are legitimately serving the people, or if they are money-making machines.

• We need better solutions for veterans, addicts, homeless, foster children, the handicapped, the sick, the disabled, the fatherless, the motherless - whose basic existences may be fragmented, and compromising their will to live.

• We need better solutions for families who have experienced tragedy/severe disruption between them, to re-learn how to be a family, and not dissolve into strife.

• We need to examine the protocols of psychiatric treatment (needless prescribing of powerful drugs) and continue questioning long term effects.

• We need to realize that the combination of puberty and a peer-pressured environment can be dangerous and unpredictable. Pre-teens and Teens must be taken seriously, and not underestimated.

• We need to understand the root/environmental causes of atypical mental disorders and neurodevelopment issues in children, continually asking questions on the origins of modern illness: ranging from vaccine injury to autism to gender dysphoria.

• Let’s investigate what rehabilitative measures can be applied to inmates and ex-cons to set them up for safe transition into society while lowering the risk of future convictions, due to behavioral disorders.

• We need to popularize a neurological basis for assessing our self-destructive lifestyles and daily events.

• We must realize the profound link between mental health + active relationships so we can prevent damaging effects of isolation + vicious cycles.

• We need for the essential function of “therapy ; counseling” to be much more precise and scientific.
  With more robust and cohesive industry standards: with articulated levels of care, and new measures implemented to ensure efficacy and comprehension of therapeutic method, as well as the means to hold practitioners accountable for fraudulent behavior.

• We need more sophisticated and developed classifications for Trauma and Depression, and other debilitating conditions.

• We need to return to treating psychiatric problems based on psychological theory and real, not fabricated, science.

• We need to resolutely understand the connections between diet, metabolism, habits, gut health etc. on state-of-mind.

• We need to demystify mental-health with an abundance of evidence.

@AmericanPatriot

There seems to be no initiatives to improve mental health in our nation and if there are they are few. I am convinced mental health is the silent pandemic.

@Junebug

Maybe this is covered under one of the bulleted items and I missed it but I’m seeing a lot of psychosis related to the election of Donald Trump. These women particularly have been brainwashed to believe he is a monster who is going to cause them to die if they conceive. It’s truly a tragedy. They are angry, afraid, drawing inward rather than reaching out, cutting off family members who they see as DJT supporters/voters. How do we correct this? They wouldn’t self report because they see themselves as normal and us as the problem. They need reeducating.

@Bingus247

I’m a disabled veteran, a single mother, and I graduated with my BS in Texas. This is a two part problem, one as a veteran and another that I don’t see being discussed: mental health in the workplace.

I had to quit my job with the state because they absolutely refused to accommodate me. Despite the agency having their own policy to support the request, HRs denial having anything to do with hardship relative to what is defined in the CFR, and even though I had two doctors: my primary and specialist request on my behalf for accommodations and provided the necessary paperwork.

@Arod17

I am 24 and I have a full time job with great health benefits. Unfortunately I was struggling to find a therapist that was covered by my insurance.

@ElizBlock

I am a spiritual director who has spoken with students in schools of psychology where 3/4 way through their program they are subjected to Marxist professors & critical race theory. They are told to guide their clients toward the possibility they are gay or lesbian through coloring books and other manipulations into their psyche. The reason given in several cases was to overturn the male hierarchy. This causes the students I know great anger. Many psychologists are more interested in promoting the gay alternative life as a solution to anxiety, steering them into it, than truly seeking the good of the client.

@CherylScottMSLMHC

I believe there are people who know what “de-transitioning” therapy would like, and we need a committee of experts to begin to lay out plans for creating a new mental health system based on reality based scientific data-h morals and values. The fact is that it will take a massive whole of government approach to doing this. We need to change wokeism treatment concepts. Change universities teaching wokeism ideas. Change licensing boards for needed CEUs and other criteria. Change the DSM to reclassify dysphoria back to disorder. This will require a multi-prong serious plan. I’d love to be involved.

@Jules

But, for some reason, after a few months they always ask “What would you to work on?” Well, I don’t know! I am expecting my therapist to guide me through it. With each therapist I made progress. But, I don’t understand why they keep trying to make you take control when I am expecting them to know what that path should be. My guess is that there is laws or something about the way therapists are trained that make them do this. It seriously hinders the healing process and honest really hurts my feelings for being given up on by someone I am paying.

@AriAnahata

It feels a bit triggering when my therapist always asks “so what would you like to work on today?” and I’m not the expert and don’t have the ability to know sometimes so my hour of time and money is wasted with no clear direction. I understand that my therapist wants ME to come to my own healing and I’m someone who appreciates that challenge, but it also feels like it makes the process extremely slow and at times, it WORSENS my mental health because I feel like a failure who is unsupported/unimportant. I’m not able to heal myself on such a deep level without the guidance of someone who IS mentally balanced.

@Tricia_Mahoney

When one of our kids was spiraling in late high school, the waiting list for covered care was 8-12 months unless we were referred through emergency inpatient services, which were not covered. I have very good health insurance, and live in a metro area with significant resources, but there are simply no resources unless someone is in crisis. We shouldn’t have to wait until someone is in a life-threatening situation to seek help. If the remote therapy options online are staffed by certified counselors and can be validated, why would they not be covered just as any other telehealth program?

@tekla14

Question to ponder: Is there any such thing as “mental illness”? No, there is not. The “Bible” of psychiatry is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental DISORDERS. They don’t say mental illness, because they are physicians trained in the medical model, where a disease must demonstrate a gross, microscopic or chemical lesion in the body to be considered an actual disease. No mental disorder can meet this requirement, ergo: there is no such thing as a mental illness.

@Laura_Lees

After the presentation, I spoke to the presenter and asked why as a psychologist I wouldn’t do an assessment to help determine whether the patient was actually transgender or was possibly experiencing gender confusion. I used the analogy that I have been told many times by 80 pound anorexic patients that they are completely fine and there’s no need to gain weight, yet if I just took their opinion at face value, their psychopathology would result in death. The presenter summarily dismissed me as eating disorders having nothing to do with transgenderism. He didn’t answer my question about doing an assessment, even though that is one of the core skills of psychologists.

@Safira7117

In high school, I had selective mutism rooted in PTSD and anxiety disorder. Kratom helped me talk again and develop social skills. I never thought I would be able to do that. I haven’t heard many stories of kratom helping selective mutism.

@Sierra_Clair

One reason so many young people go to therapy now more than in past generations is they don’t have a supportive social network. Therapists are overwhelmed with new patient requests and many people stay in therapy years beyond what they need due to a lack of outside relationships.

@Ellbee67

Many people have difficulty with traditional “talk therapy” and yet the arts therapies are typically not reimbursable through insurance. What I have to do is incorporate music therapy into my LPC practice, when it would be more beneficial for the music interventions to be primary. I’ve worked in MH for 30 years and with combat veterans, persons with acute and chronic MH diagnoses of all ages, complex trauma cases, etc etc and Music Therapy has helped most of them progress more quickly (their words) and also helps them to have a way to regulate through intentional music engagement during their every day lives.

@sfled

I would add changing the current licensing from state to state, we’re short-handed because it isn’t always easy to move and continue practicing since each state has different licensing requirements. If medical professionals can travel and their licensing travels with them, why do we continue to allow licensing organizations to dictate the added costs in order to continue practicing if you move to a different state or if you wanted to provide virtual services to those in areas with need for qualified mental health professionals?

@Abby_Sharp

Adding to the CBT/etc research point - include EMDR trauma therapy and making that form of therapy more accessible. $200/session is so difficult to keep up with, especially for a trauma therapy that you may need several sessions for.

@ewilson

I was a part of a conversation today about Emergency Room’s inability to address the mental health crisis leading to long term boarding of psych patients in EDs. They shared that 40% of individual’s first contact with mental health services is via the ER. There is a grant funded ‘pilot’ mental health ER/ walk in center in our area that can address someone’s needs in 72 minutes from walking in to walking out, including scheduling with a follow up outpatient visit within 7 days. There has been great success with the model, however, it is considered ‘not sustainable’ long term because of the lack of insurance reimbursement and the low rates for MH emergencies. They also shared that Medicaid covers the visits 100%, but commercial insurance will contribute $6 TOTAL towards the claim.

@jmang128

I have had family with severe mental health disorders who have state medicaid and wait months for care and then get terrible care when they do get it bc therapists who accept medicaid are swamped!

@Trump2024Again

Fathers mean less poverty, less crime, and less overall hardship. Fathers are paramount in helping kids grow up to stand on solid ground.

@Laura_Lees

I served two terms as president of the Wisconsin Psychological Association and the bylaws are clear that as a non-profit the organization’s mission is to carry out activities that support the advancement of psychology for professionals and the community. In 2020 during my past-president term, the George Floyd riots occurred and the new board of directors felt compelled to publish position statements supporting Black Lives Matter. They felt it was the duty of the board to support BLM despite the Executive Director and I explaining that the bylaws do not include political activism and, although it was their responsibility to protect WPA’s 501(c)(3) status, they were putting it at risk.

@Alipoo2200

I can’t keep a job and I can barely function or take care of myself. I’m very lucky that my boyfriend is supporting me but without him I would be homeless. I don’t talk to my family very much because a lot of them are narcissistic and have a lot of addictions and they are just very hard to be around. I have a hard time going outside by myself and leaving my apartment. I can’t afford therapy anymore and I’m running out of medications and options.

@SarahPhD

During covid, I was surprised that neither my state psychological association or the American Psychological Association came out with any type of public statement saying that school closures were detrimental to the mental health of children. Psychological research clearly had shown how important regular socialization with peers is for children’s mental health. I thought this kind of a public statement could be made with the caveat that the association was not advising whether or not keeping schools closed would affect the transmission of covid. I brought my concerns to the state psychological association via their email listserv, where I was attacked by psychologists who were petrified of covid spreading if schools were to reopen.

@jmang128

I would add something I think of importance which is to add some regulation around sites like betterhelp , where the therapists are paid or incentivized to keep clients for long periods and/or volume of clients, instead of improving their outcomes and giving them the best care.

@SarahPhD

I’m a psychologist in private practice and have been a psychologist for about 30 years. I take insurance in my practice, so I am considered “in network” with several companies. One of the problems I see is that a therapist gets paid the same amount by an insurance company no matter how severe the problem is in the person they are treating. The diagnosis given to the person does not matter. In other words, the therapist gets paid the same amount for “individual psychotherapy” no matter if the person is suicidal or if they are depressed over a recent life event. They also get paid less for “couples counseling” than they do for individual therapy, even though it is more difficult to do. Usually people with the most severe problems tend to go to agencies (like local mental health centers) rather than therapists in private practice, because they don’t have private health insurance. Agencies typically provide little psychotherapy and rely much more on psychiatric medication, which tends to be over prescribed and has lots of negative effects. Agencies are also usually staffed by therapists with the least experience, because therapists want to go into private practice where they have more autonomy and typically see patients with less severe problems. So unfortunately, those with the most difficult to treat problems end up with therapists (if they are so lucky) with the least amount of experience and training.

@Laura_Lees

Make needed changes to reimbursement so those who need higher levels of care (e.g., inpatient, residential) can complete the full treatment episode rather than being discharged prematurely by insurance companies. This results in inability to achieve a state of wellness that supports effective functioning upon discharge and contributes to relapses, readmissions and the development of chronic psychiatric conditions. This is particularly true for those suffering from eating disorders.

[Jules (Julie)]

From experience, I can tell you that mindful meditation and Tai Chi have been amazing helpers for my physical and mental health. Mindfulness meditation is/was in k-12 schools, but I haven’t heard about it still existing for a while.

I am thinking that it should be common for meditation and tai chi to be readily accessible and paid for by insurance as a common thing. Or maybe make it a state paid for program…if this is a good idea? And also part of gym class…assuming gym class still exists in k-12.

I was in therapy for a while. But, I kept having to find new therapists because each one gives up on you. Here is what I mean. I am a deep kind of person and came to understand that I would need to heal on a deep level. My assumption is that most therapists would be willing to take that journey with you. But, for some reason, after a few months they always ask “What would you to work on?” Well, I don’t know! I am expecting my therapist to guide me through it. With each therapist I made progress. But, I don’t understand why they keep trying to make you take control when I am expecting them to know what that path should be. My guess is that there is laws or something about the way therapists are trained that make them do this. It seriously hinders the healing process and honest really hurts my feelings for being given up on by someone I am paying. I am NOT a tough case or anything like that. Can this get addressed as well?

[truth]

We need to study meditation and how it benefits the mind.
When a awareness is reached that meditation is the greatest tool to have happiness and mental peace and wellbeing, we should establish meditation centers across the nation for free. Even small ones in parks to just take a break.

This is absolutely what I am talking about when it comes to addressing questionable Therapy Techniques, firmer expectations, true industry standards — such as concrete and methodical approach versus a “freestyle” approach.

This cannot be abided and merely swept under the rug. In some cases it feels like borderline theft. These costs add up.

Great contribution, thank you.

[truth]

They studied Tibetan Buddhist monks who meditated everyday for years, and we found
there was a new brain wave called Gamma, something we have never seen in anyone else other than meditators. In short, it meant that these monks were constantly experiencing blissful peace and joy in their minds due to the incredible transformative power of meditation.

[Jules (Julie)]

There have been a few studies on it in the past on the benefits of meditation.

One of the problems with this idea is going to be finding true masters of meditation and tai chi. For example, there are a lot of Tai Chi forms out there. But most of those are bad versions of the original or just made up which is not good. If done really wrong, doing Tai Chi can effect your health in a negative way. Sadly, there are just a small handful of people around the world that still know original forms that truly work. The same thing for mindfulness meditation…it can be taught wrong making it useless.

There are still a very small handful of people that know forms that truly work. But, that knowledge is almost gone thanks to decades of true masters either being killed or not passing down their knowledge to the right people.

[Love]

I believe the best way to study something is by practicing it yourself.

[B.H.1]

Be optimistic! I agree, however there might be quite a few masters hiding in plain sight. We can hold Train the Trainer sessions to ensure best practices.

Suggestion: Find one true master and have this person by your side. They will be able to judge if the form is good or not. The only true master I know of (there are so many fake ones) is Helen Liang. You can find here DVDs here: https://ymaa.com/search-results?search=helen+liang

I get the impression from Helen that she was taught by some of the last of the great Tai Chi and Kung Fu masters in China.

Impact of Pornography

Sex Addiction & Porn Addiction are very real. We can further understand the psychological effects of this kind of addiction and use this knowledge to support people in a therapeutic/psychoanalytical setting.

I am not explicitly advocating for a Ban on Pornography, I don’t know if that’s the solution. I will say that if it was disposed of from the culture, I feel confident that it would be a positive step for our psychological wellbeing.

Pornography is profoundly damaging to men, eroding their mental, emotional, and relational well-being. It distorts men’s perception of intimacy, reducing healthy sexual relationships to transactional and exploitative encounters. Over time, pornography rewires the brain, fostering addiction-like patterns that make it difficult for men to form genuine emotional connections. This leaves many men trapped in isolation, struggling with shame, anxiety, and dissatisfaction with real-life relationships. …

People always get worse when starting these feeds and dietitians are taught this will save there life. Please stop health care workers from being forced to administer this crap. Not to mention all food served in a hospital is made with the same oils and preservatives we are fighting against. But if yo…

Remove estrogen in tap water

Estrogen has been rising at alarming levels in our drinking water. Here is an exert from a 2010 study, “Detection of estrogens in the environment has raised concerns in recent years because of the potential of these compounds to affect both wildlife and humans. The incomplete removal by publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) of excreted endogenous estrogens and prescribed estrogens leads to their introduction into surface waters and potentially into drinking water sources that rely on surface wa…

Ban 5G Cell Towers In Residential Neighborhoods

These cell towers have popped up all over my neighborhood in the past few years. How did this happen? There are multiple studies that show these towers are “probably carcinogenic for humans” and can cause headaches, memory problems, dizziness, depression, sleep problems, etc. I would much rather use a “land line” in my home to avoid cell phone radiation but now I don’t have the choice. The radiation is here no matter what choices I make in my home.

Urgent Call for a National Health Policy to Remove Fluoride from Public Drinking Water

I am writing to request your urgent attention to the matter of fluoridation in our public drinking water. Mounting scientific evidence, including the latest findings from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), indicates that fluoride exposure is linked to a reduction in IQ levels, particularly affecting children. Here’s why this concern demands immediate action: NIH Study Findings on IQ Reduction: Recent NIH-funded research has shown that fluoride exposure may lead to lowered IQ levels acro…

Allow insurance coverage for mold toxicity

Mold produces health altering mycotoxins. Home owner’s insurance doesn’t recognize it. Health insurance doesn’t recognize it. It takes YEARS to recover from it. It affects our bodies’ neurological, respiratory, immune, mental/cognitive, and nervous symptoms. Some mycotoxins even produce TVOCs which can cause organ failure. Traditional medicine doesn’t know how to treat this and it’s affecting people more than they know. The only way to receive treatment is to find a functional doctor and pay th…

Self-explanatory. Lab grown meat is not real meat. There are lots of harmful artificial ingredients, and the good ingredients do not provide the same nutritional benefit of real meat.

Caregiver grading at Veterans' Affairs Hospitals

As of today, veterans are subjected to substandard care and left to scream into the void when a physician treats them poorly or is abusive. We’re sent to patient advocates that try but lack the resources to bring true repair to situations. IG investigations into abusive, inept, or dangerous providers are exceedingly rare. Moreover, Feres Doctrine and prohibitions of lawsuits embolden providers at VA hospitals to do and act however they wish. This results in malicious flags placed in parts of re…

I propose a policy for our homeless veterans. That says. If you served in a combat zone for this country. Then you should be furnished a home with know property tax owed. These veterans have been in a deadly combat zone and deserve to be respected and taken care of. I feel this would help get a lot of homeless off the street and create a lot of jobs.

Care for our Veterans

Tricare for life should have no premiums or co-pays. Our country made a promise to our service members. The government promised we would take care of you if you were injured serving our country. It promised to take care of those you left behind if you were killed in the line of duty. And we promised to care for our veterans in return for 20+ years of service. Obama’s DAA of 2016 started charging premiums on retiree health care which opened the door. Those premiums have been further increased …

Familial bonding & Neurodevelopment

@Powerdrips

• A C-section can interfere with the immediate release of oxytocin and the initiation of breastfeeding because the surgical process often delays skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby. After a C-section, the mother may be separated from the baby for medical reasons, such as recovery from anesthesia or post-surgery monitoring, which reduces the opportunity for immediate breastfeeding. Without this early breastfeeding or skin-to-skin contact, the release of oxytocin may be delayed, potentially hindering the bonding process and the natural benefits of the “love drug” effect. Additionally, the mother might face physical discomfort or challenges in positioning the baby to breastfeed, further complicating early bonding.
• Breastfeeding immediately after birth is important because it stimulates the release of oxytocin, often called the “love hormone” or “love drug.” Oxytocin is crucial in helping to establish the bond between mother and baby. This hormone fosters feelings of attachment and emotional connection. Additionally, oxytocin helps the mother’s uterus contract, which reduces postpartum bleeding, and it enhances milk ejection during breastfeeding. The physical closeness and skin-to-skin contact during breastfeeding also reinforce this bond, creating a nurturing environment for both the mother and baby.
