Oxytocin does indeed greatly increase during sex and peaks during climax. At the same time, another important hormone – dopamine – is surging too. But after climax, both oxytocin and dopamine quickly drop off. This drop in dopamine provides a feeling of satiety, and the two hormones affect each other; as the dopamine falls, so does your level of oxytocin. Dopamine is what drives you to do the deed, and oxytocin is what draws you to a particular person, so that when these motivators decrease post-climax, your overall desire for that person dissipates(from https://padlet.com/lhernandez50/risb4hv46pwalwy3/wish/711583850)

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Over the course of your life, if you experience mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected.

Mental Health Conditions

Mental illnesses are disorders, ranging from mild to severe, that affect a person's thinking, mood, and/or behavior. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly one-in-five adults live with a mental illness.

Many factors contribute to mental health conditions, including:

Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry

Life experiences, such as trauma or abuse

Family history of mental health problems

Some mental health topics include:

A Serious Mental Illness (SMI) is a mental illness that interferes with a person's life and ability to function. Despite common misperceptions, having an SMI is not a choice, a weakness, or a character flaw. It is not something that just "passes" or can be "snapped out of" with willpower.

Tips for Living Well with a Mental Health Condition

Having a mental health condition can make it a struggle to work, keep up with school, stick to a regular schedule, have healthy relationships, socialize, maintain hygiene, and more.

However, with early and consistent treatment-often a combination of medication and psychotherapy-it is possible to manage these conditions, overcome challenges, and lead a meaningful, productive life.

Today, there are new tools, evidence-based treatments, and social support systems that help people feel better and pursue their goals. Some of these tips, tools and strategies include:

Stick to a treatment plan. Even if you feel better, don't stop going to therapy or taking medication without a doctor's guidance. Work with a doctor to safely adjust doses or medication if needed to continue a treatment plan.

Keep your primary care physician updated. Primary care physicians are an important part of long-term management, even if you also see a psychiatrist.

Learn about the condition. Being educated can help you stick to your treatment plan. Education can also help your loved ones be more supportive and compassionate.

Practice good self-care. Control stress with activities such as meditation or tai-chi; eat healthy and exercise; and get enough sleep.

Reach out to family and friends. Maintaining relationships with others is important. In times of crisis or rough spells, reach out to them for support and help.

Develop coping skills. Establishing healthy coping skills can help people deal with stress easier.

Get enough sleep. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood and overall health. Consistently poor sleep is associated with anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

Whatever stage of life you're in, taking proactive steps to protect your mental health will always pay off. We spoke with Glenn Baird, TAL's Head of Mental Health, about actions you could take today.

Mental health is something we all need to work to protect and maintain. Having the right tools and techniques in your back pocket could leave you better prepared for the tougher times and allow you to create a positive, productive environment both at work and at home.

With an estimated 5.9% of Australians suffering depressive disorders, and 7% from anxiety according to a 2017 report from the World Health Organisation, taking a proactive approach towards mental health is an issue close to Glenn Baird's heart.

"For me, we need to apply the same philosophy to mental wellness as we do to physical wellbeing. You don't just go to the gym, get fit and then stop exercising. In the same way, we need to constantly build and work on our mental wellness using the strategies that work for us."

Taking responsibility for protecting your own mental health is often the first step to a clearer mind and a happier life. There's plenty of advice out there about how best to perform your mental housekeeping, but it's really all about finding a solution that works for you.

"There are five simple actions that people can take which have been proven to improve wellbeing," says Glenn. "I'd recommend looking at the following Five Ways to Wellbeing, originally developed by the New Economics Foundation, to see how they could fit into your life."

1. Connect with people. Strong relationships are the foundation of mental wellbeing. It may be spending more time with family and friends, or finally getting around to speaking to that colleague who works on the other side of the building, but connect with people as often as you can. Sites like Meetup are great if you've just arrived in a new place and are looking to build networks.

2. Be active. "Always make time in your week to do some exercise. It could be social like a game of tennis, or just a walk in the great outdoors, but a healthy body is a healthy mind," says Glenn. See some easy tips to help you get active on our Slice of Life blog.

3. Keep learning. Stimulate your brain by picking up an old skill or trying out a new one. Now's the time to learn a language or do that professional development course at work you've been thinking about.

4. Give. Giving back to the local community or helping out a friend or colleague is a great way to boost your self-esteem and raise a smile.

5. Take notice. This means taking the time for yourself to notice and appreciate what is around you. A great way to do this is through the mindfulness and meditation and calming breathing techniques recommended on our Slice of Life blog.

As well as incorporating these tips into your life, make sure you get involved in initiatives going on in the workplace such as R U OK Day.

"These types of events give you the time and space to check in with your colleagues, but asking how people are getting on is not something that should only happen once a year," says Glenn.

"At TAL we have partnered with workplace mental health charity SuperFriend to ensure all our People Leaders are trained in managing mental health. We also provide tailored sessions to our claims department employees. These sessions ensure our staff both protect their own mental health and are equipped to speak with people calling the department who might not be at the best point in their life and need to be treated with kindness and respect."

Taking simple, proactive steps to improve and maintain your mental health both at home and in the workplace is the first step in improving your overall wellbeing. Having adequate insurance in place could help you further put your mind at ease. Should the worst happen, TAL has a number of plans that could help to protect you and those you love. Income Protection Insurance and Total Permanent Disability Insurance could take the financial pressure off you and your family if you are unable to work, allowing you to concentrate on getting back on your feet.
