Health & wellness comprises not only physical well-being but also mental.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others,and make healthy choices in our everyday lives.
The cause of mental health could be trauma, childhood abuse or negligence, social isolation due to discrimination, and many more.
This is because of misconceptions about mental health and mental fitness, people often suffer in silence, left untreated.
Knowing if you have the symptoms could be the first step to helping yourself to enjoy your life and environment as well as the people in it better. You may need to take a breather to check on yourself.
If you are sad or down, have excessive worries, fear or guilt, extreme mood changes of high or low, tired or withdrawal syndrome from society and friends or even low energy, and problems sleeping that could lead to anxiety and depression.
To have poor mental health is to risk having chronic physical conditions. If the mind and body are not in alignment, your health will not be able to function at its optimum.
The last we want is more pills to support our health when that happens.
In many cases, people are not getting the relief they need from therapy and medications. Furthermore,it may cause unwanted side effects, including headaches, nausea, weight gain,and trouble sleeping.
