Did you know that a migraine attack may last up to 72 hours, and the headache is sometimes only a brief part of the full attack? Migraine is thought to progress through phases due to complex mechanisms in the brain. These mechanisms can be triggered by various factors, such as stress, hormonal fluctuations, or environmental stimuli. Up to one-third of the people living with migraine may experience the aura stage of migraine which can include visual disturbances, tingling, or speech difficulties. Be aware that the headache may be just the tip of the iceberg -the processes before and after the headache last longer and have a strong impact on a person's daily life. Recognizing these phases can help in early intervention and better management of symptoms. Check out the infographic below to learn more about the different phases of migraine. #Migraine #Awareness #NotJustAHeadache

Fighting mental health stigma through art in Italy 🎨 To increase social engagement on the topic of mental health, Lundbeck Italia organizes the People in Mind Contest, an annual graphic arts contest aimed at raising awareness about mental illness and combating stigma through painting, drawing, photography, videography, and social commitment. Last year, 299 works of art were collected from all over Italy, including 90 from artists representing associations or centers and 74 from high school students. The finalists then traveled to various exhibitions and other social activities as advocates for mental health. At an award ceremony, 13 winners were announced. During the ceremony, debates with patient associations, expert clinicians, and institutional representatives took place to discuss mental health. Some of the artwork was subsequently utilized in partnerships with hospitals to decorate their facilities, providing both patients and caregivers with a dignified space enriched by art. #Art #MentalHealth #UnitedAgainstStigma

Talking about #mentalhealth in Mexico 🧠📢 In Mexico, 25% of the population lives with mental health conditions. However, only 2% of the national health budget is allocated to mental health, highlighting the need for greater awareness. In 2023, Lundbeck Mexico launched ‘Hablamos (Let’s Talk)’, a special project that collaborates with patient associations specializing in supporting people living with mental health conditions in their rehabilitation and recovery processes. To increase awareness of what it is like to live with a psychiatric disorder, Hablamos collected testimonials from people living in cities like Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara, sharing their touching stories with us. At Lundbeck, we recognize the importance of sharing the stories of people with lived experiences to eradicate stigma and show the person behind the diagnosis. We believe it is vital to provide support to people who cannot access comprehensive care to recover their ordinary lives. By fostering partnerships, we can help restore #brainhealth and improve the lives of people living with psychiatric and neurological disorders in Mexico and around the world. 🌍 Curious to learn more about how we spread awareness in the countries where we operate?
