 Today
there
is a huge focus on physical well-being. However, we cannot
cut off the body at the neck as did many physicians years
ago. The two work together and today we know that stress
can often cause more damage to the body than some forms of
cancer and other diseases.
If
we are to consider our overall well-being, we should not draw
a line between our bodies and our heads, our minds are more
complex than we even realized.Many
perceptions about mental health have changed over time. Although,
it can sometimes be difficult to recognize signs that a person
is struggling with their mental state. Often people, especially
teens and young adults think seeking help for depression or
another 'mind matter' makes them a weaker person. This is
just not true.
The last
thing a person in emotional pain
wants to hear is that “time will heal” their pain.
In many situations this is true, if, however, the hurt is
not going away and you feel a sense of hopelessness,
then professional help is essential. T here is help out there
and you are by no means alone.
If you need a crisis hotline, go to the
hotlines page. Talk to your help care provider if you
feel hopelessness, despair or
depressed.
