With therapy, support, and healthier coping mechanisms, people can face their fears, overcome their inner demons, and take back control of their lives.
Stress can play a major role in memory lapses, especially for people living with OCD and trauma. When the mind is overwhelmed by anxiety, daily pressures, or too many competing tasks, it can become harder to focus on intrusive thoughts or compulsions.

How one woman’s journey through grief and hardship led to the creation of two powerful charities – and why her story continues to inspire global change. When we think of JK Rowling, most picture the global Harry Potter phenomenon. But behind the fame is a woman who once lived on state benefits, writing in cafes while caring for a young child as a single mother battling grief after losing her mother to Multiple Sclerosis.
Customer advisors are often the unsung heroes of the high street. They are there to assist, inform, and represent a company professionally, but they are not there to be shouted at, belittled, or physically disrespected.
Antidepressant use has soared over the past two decades, with the UK alone seeing a doubling in prescriptions since 2008. While medication can be life-changing for some, concerns are growing around its overprescription, especially for patients who may not need long-term pharmacological treatment. From the reluctance of GPs to offer fast-acting relief to the alarming trend of children being medicated, it’s time to ask, are we medicating emotion at the expense of wellbeing?
Of all the senses, smell is the most closely linked to memory and emotion. The olfactory system is directly connected to the limbic system, particularly the amygdala and hippocampus, which govern our emotional processing and long-term memories.
