What people are saying
Depression is often hard to identify in many people, especially adults. The symptoms of depression vary from one person to another. As is true for any other behavioral disorder, it is important to keep a close watch on the changes in your day-to-day functioning. Depression and its associated symptoms can vary from person to person depending on the trigger event. The trigger can be anything ranging from substance abuse to genetic predispositions, etc. Here are some signs that you must look for if you or someone you love is suffering from depression.
Read moreAnxiousness can be tricky to notice because it can show up differently in people. It is common that people come and seek help for substance abuse, only to realize that they are dealing with anxiety. The real problem with anxiety is that a large number of day-to-day activities can make us stressed. Anxiety extends way beyond the feeling of being scared and can make people feel alone and seek isolation. A staggering 40 million people in America suffer from anxiety. A few find relief by engaging in healthy habits like exercise and meditation, but a large portion tend to tilt towards the use of substances to manage their symptoms. This makes things worse for them and those around them.
Read moreBipolar is often a misunderstood and complex disease. Bipolar disorder can lead to huge losses and erratic behavior patterns leading to chaos in daily life. It is also misdiagnosed and causes huge negative consequences in the lives of people suffering from this disorder. Recognizing the signs of bipolar is crucial for treatment and early intervention improves the chances of success and mitigates the impacts of the disease.
