1 in 6 people per week face a common mental health problem..

Depression is cited as one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and suicide rates continue to climb year by year, especially among young people.

Our daily lives aren’t conducive to good mental health.

Work/life imbalance, social media, loneliness, technology, financial struggles and a heap of other modern norms place tremendous pressure on us mentally and spiritually.

Overcoming the pressures of modernity requires an understanding of what mental health is, its impact, and practical steps to maintain a sound mind.

Domestic violence, substance abuse, bullying, all contribute to unsound mental health.

Though we have a rich tradition and guidance to help us overcome these obstacles, speaking about them openly is something we avoid like the plague.

Ignoring these problems, however, won’t make them any less real. In fact, it makes them far more dangerous.

Raising awareness and educating ourselves about mental health can help curb these ugly consequences.

Understanding the signs of mental illness will not only anchor you through the storms in your own life, but enable you to help those around you, those who can’t voice their emotions and struggles.

Mental wellness is one of the cornerstones of being a well-rounded person. If your mental health is off, it means you’re not seeing life through the best lens.

With the increased isolation brought about by recent events, many of us have had to come to terms with what we’re going through and how we’re feeling.

Knowing how to perform mental health maintenance will better equip you to navigate through life.
