Tired, Irritable, and Flat? This Missing Variable is Ruining Your Mental Health.

Are you doing mental health on "hard mode"? If you're struggling with treatment-resistant depression or anxiety, the culprit might not be your thoughts—it might be your airway. In this video, we explore the hidden connection between Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and mental health. As a psychologist, I’ve seen countless patients who take their meds and do the breathwork, yet still feel like they are "wading through molasses." We’re breaking down the neurobiology of sleep apnea: -The Hypoxia Alarm: How oxygen drops (SaO2) trigger a nightly "trauma" response. -Amygdala Hijack: Why your "CEO" (Prefrontal Cortex) goes on strike, leading to road rage and emotional fragility. -The Glymphatic System: Why your brain needs its "nightly wash cycle" to clear out metabolic waste. -The "Thin" Sleep Apnea Myth: Why fit, young people are often misdiagnosed with Panic Disorder. Stop treating the mind as if it’s floating in a jar. Your brain is an organ—it needs oxygen to regulate your emotions. 🚨 Important Disclaimer: This video provides informational content from a Counselling Psychologist.
