Myths and Facts about Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) | Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)
Imagine waking up and suddenly having trouble walking, problems with your vision, or experiencing seizure-like episodes, only to be told that all your labs and scans appear normal. Many living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) have had this experience.

The Society of Behavioral Medicine @sbm.org · 01/10/2026
FND can involve weakness, tremors, sensory changes, vision or speech symptoms, and seizure-like episodes. Understanding what FND is - and what it isn’t - is an important step toward better recognition, support, and care.

“Your scans are normal, so nothing is wrong.” ❌ Myth. For people living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), symptoms can be very real and sometimes disabling - even when routine scans don’t show visible injury.

Moving Out: A Practical Guide to Healthy Eating for Young Adults | Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)
For many young adults, balancing school, work, social commitments, or a limited budget can make food decisions feel overwhelming. Many college students report struggling with grocery shopping, deciding what foods to buy, making meals last throughout the week, and navigating campus dining options with limited time and resources.

Moving out on your own comes with a lot of firsts - including figuring out what’s for dinner. 🥑🍳 From grocery shopping and meal planning to making balanced choices on a budget, healthy eating can feel overwhelming when you’re doing it all yourself.

Don’t Forget About Diet and Exercise when Using a GLP-1 | Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)
Over 1 in 10 American adults are using a GLP-1. If you are one of these individuals, or if you are someone thinking about taking a GLP-1, you may wonder whether diet and exercise are still important when using this medication.
000
The Society of Behavioral Medicine @sbm.org · 20/08/2026
From getting enough protein and maintaining muscle to managing potential GI side effects and building habits for the long term, there are several reasons to keep diet and exercise in the picture.

The Society of Behavioral Medicine @sbm.org · 20/08/2026
💉 Taking a GLP-1? Don’t forget about diet and exercise. GLP-1 medications can be a powerful tool for weight loss - but healthy eating and physical activity still play an important role in supporting your overall health.

How to Form Healthy Habits that Last | Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)
Forming healthier habits can be surprisingly difficult. Myths about why this is and how to simplify the process of habit formation have spread for years, with tons of questionable claims driven by health fads and limited science shaping the conversation. Fortunately, we now have much greater insight into new habit formation than we once did.
221
The Society of Behavioral Medicine @sbm.org · 06/08/2026
Healthy habits aren't built overnight. Science shows there's no one-size-fits-all timeline. While some habits form quickly, others (like regular exercise) can take several months to become part of your routine.

Anxiety During Pregnancy: Who, What, When, Where and Why? | Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)
When a pregnancy is wanted and planned, the assumption is that a woman will feel happy, even elated, during this time of expectation. However, many women go through a roller coaster of emotions during pregnancy including feelings of anxiety and depression. In fact, around 10% to 20% of women report experiencing anxiety or depression during a pregnancy.

Supporting Latina Youth Mental Health Through Faith, Family, and Movement | Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)

Understanding Stress, Vitamin D, and Women’s Midlife Health | Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)
Midlife can feel like a major turning point that many women are not fully prepared for. For women between the ages of 35 and 50, physical and emotional changes can emerge in sudden or confusing ways. Sleep may become disrupted, memory may not feel as sharp, weight may increase despite maintaining the same habits, and mood changes may begin to appear in unfamiliar ways.
000
The Society of Behavioral Medicine @sbm.org · 25/06/2026
Stress isn't just "part of getting older." For women in midlife, stress and vitamin D levels may play a bigger role in overall health than many realize -affecting everything from mood and energy to long-term well-being.
