In our fast-moving modern world, it is easy to find yourself overstimulated and stressed. It's common to become bogged down with racing thoughts or overwhelmed with emotions. That doesn't mean you have to let those things become normal. This guide on mindfulness will introduce simple, accessible practices with real-life mental health benefits that you can start right now.
Mental health has long been talked about in hushed tones, especially among older generations. Unfortunately, this attitude has led to many people hiding their mental health issues instead of seeking help from a therapist or mental health rehab. Since mental illness often worsens over time without proper attention and care, this decision can be devastating.
The good news is that many individuals and organizations are seeking to remove the shame surrounding mental illness. The goal of their combined endeavors is to make mental health services as normal and socially acceptable as physical healthcare services. Whether you have a loved one with mental illness or you’re facing your own mental health battle, you can join the movement. Here’s why mental health matters so much and what you can do to help break the stigma currently surrounding it.
Do you have a family member or friend who’s struggling with the challenges that come with mental illness? If so, it’s natural to wonder what you can say or do to help them. You might worry about saying “the wrong thing” and potentially damaging your relationship. You might also be concerned that your efforts might be misconstrued as too pushy or invasive.
In most cases, it’s better to do something and potentially have your efforts fall flat than it is to do nothing at all. Avoiding the subject altogether could make your loved one feel isolated, misunderstood, and intensely lonely. Here’s how to talk to a loved one about their mental health so they feel seen and supported through life’s challenges.
