Hi mental health

Hi everyone, welcome to another day, hope your day is going well? Today I said let me write about mental health. How do you take care of your health, Are you okay mentally? What could affect your mental health....

Apart from anxiety that I already tecold you about in my previous posts, there is another pathology that goes hand in hand with anxiety and I’m gonna share with you today:

DEPRESSION (first part)

What is depression?

Everyone feels sad or down from time to time, but these feelings usually go away in a short time. Depression, also called "clinical depression" or "major depressive disorder," is different. Depression can cause serious symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and coordinate daily activities like sleeping, eating, or working. It is a disease that can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, income, culture or educational level

What are the signs and symptoms of depression?

* Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or "emptiness";

* Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism;

* Feelings of irritability, frustration, or restlessness;

* Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness;

* Loss of interest or pleasure in activities and hobbies;

* Fatigue, decreased energy, or feeling sluggish;

* Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions;

* Difficulty sleeping, waking up early in the morning or sleeping too much;

* Unplanned changes in appetite or weight;

* Aches and pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that have no apparent physical cause, or are not relieved by treatment;

* Suicide attempts or thoughts about death or suicide.

Sleep well

Mental health is significantly influenced by sleep. It is easier to deal with issues, concentrate, think positively, and recall things when we get adequate sleep. If you don't feel drowsy during the day, you are receiving adequate sleep.

Beware of thinking traps

The way we feel is greatly influenced by the way we think about things. We frequently feel happy when we believe we can solve an issue. We frequently feel sad if we do not believe that we can solve a situation. These ideas are referred to as "thinking traps." They are traps because they are simple to slip into, which can leave us feeling miserable and stranded.

Take breaks

We should all set aside some time to unwind. It has a significant role in reducing stress and having fun in life. Stress may build up to the point where we feel powerless to accomplish anything if we don't take the time to slow down. Yoga, meditation, tai chi, and breathing techniques are all recommended as ways to unwind.
