Short Mental Health Interventions- Helping People Quit Vaping
Manage episode 452188761 series 2927432
The federal government has made vaping illegal without a prescription for very good reasons. We know that vaping and nicotine can have an impact on brain development, affecting your memory, attention, learning and mood. Vaping can also make mental health issues like anxiety and depression worse. It is also highly addictive.
There are two issues for health professionals to consider
· people don’t understand vaping’s health impacts.
· Generally the advice for those who are concerned is to “talk to your GP or a trusted health professional”
Why is that a problem? Because most of us don’t have effective strategies for helping people stop.
In this recording, GP Dr Chris Lee will increase our understanding of the risks of vaping and provide some very practical advice about talking to people about their habit.
