This account is to provide insight on social health issues that are often ignored by our general society.

[@PudumoComm3724 @maspulipudumo]

@LekhoathiC Because black people think that it only occurs in white communities they believe they are strong and there is no such thing

[LekhoathiCOMM3724 @LekhoathiC]

@maspulipudumo I agree. Clear enough. Thanks.

[LekhoathiCOMM3724 @LekhoathiC]

In as much as there is a lot of noise around depression, why do you think a serious topic like it is not extremely paid attention to in our communities?

[@PudumoComm3724 @maspulipudumo]

Depression is an extremely complex disease. No one knows exactly what causes it, but it can occur for a variety of reasons. Some people experience depression during a serious medical illness. Others may have depression with life changes such as a move or the death of a loved one.

How dangerous is TB, is it perhaps a life-threatening disease? If so, how many lives has it claimed in this year alone?

[LekhoathiCOMM3724 @LekhoathiC]

I think what's best been communicated over time is to limit alcohol usage, to not smoke, to control your weight and to be more physically active.

[LekhoathiCOMM3724 @LekhoathiC]

@ZuluCOMM3724 Yes it is a life threatening disease. It is reported that TB is the leading infectious cause of death in the world. Although statistics for 2020 are unclear, I can confirm that I 2019, TB claimed 1.4 million lives.

Please listen to this podcast and share your views related to depression.

[LekhoathiCOMM3724 @LekhoathiC]

Based on these symptoms, can someone self-diagnose themselves, or should they still consult a professional?

[Mphana CCOM3724 @MphanaC]

We really need to have talks about sex and contraception, unsafe sex practice however these are some of the available birth controls that can help in unawated pregnancy

What more do you think can be done to educate the youth?

[@Jardim_Comm3724 @3724Jardim]

Schools and institutions can help educate young people about the dangers of drugs to their future and most importantly their futures.

[LekhoathiCOMM3724 @LekhoathiC]

Yes definitely. Especially now that we live in the social media era. Social media dictates the "new cool way of doing things", and that often is drug and alcohol abuse.

[BarlowCOMM3724 @BComm3724]

@MajokwComm3724 Do you think drug and alcohol abuse occurs as a result of peer pressure?

[BarlowCOMM3724 @BComm3724]

Ways to improve your lifestyle

- Improving your dietary choice by following a healthy eating plan.
- Exercising regularly for at least 3-4 days a week.
- Being consistent with your exercise and eating plan.

[BarlowCOMM3724 @BComm3724]

Childhood obesity has become prevalent and is a serious health threat to children. Poor health stemming from childhood obesity can continue into adulthood and therefore, it is important to prevent obesity from a young age.

[BarlowCOMM3724 @BComm3724]

When a persons body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher they are classified as obese.

Obesity is not only caused by a persons lifestyle choices but other causes of obesity also include:

• Genetics
• Some medications
• Chronic Stress

[LekhoathiCOMM3724 @LekhoathiC]

What is it that people can do to inform themselves more about this issue?

Obesity has been around for a century and it basically involves an excess amount of body fat.

Obesity can cause other health problems like heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

About half of the South African population is either overweight or obese.
