The Other Pandemic—Mental Illness
More than ever, mental health and brain health are becoming top wellness issues.
Though a previously unknown and highly communicable disease is a clear and present threat, the other side of a pandemic situation can result in an equally destructive and potentially longer lasting health issue: Mental illness. We’re not talking all-out crazy here, but low levels of stress over an extended period of time take a health toll no less serious.
More than ever, mental health and brain health are becoming top wellness issues.
Many who have never struggled with these issues before are experiencing depression, anxiety, frustration, irritability and even anger in their lives due to ongoing, disruptive and often frightening circumstances they find themselves in.
For some, the symptoms may be more subtle, such as frustration, lack of focus and general restlessness, but all generally stemming from a fear of the unknown. If you or someone you know is having emotional difficulty, or behavioral changes in these times of stress, there is a truly remarkable activity that can help.
