What It Means to You

Take Action Now… Keep your Mental Health in Good Condition

Everyone around you affects your mental health and you, in turn, affect theirs.

This can be good or bad depending… Do your friends and Family help you keep

Balance and Control in your life or do they help promote the opposite?

Take the time to relax and think about the things festering around in your head.

Talking about the problems you are having also helps a great deal. Finding someone to confide in is very important.

Clearing your brain each evening of all the days’ worries is one way to keep your brain from being clogged with unnecessary bullshit.

Remember…

Your mental health is important.

You will not have a healthy body if

You don’t also take care of your mind.

You have to take care of yourself

To take care of the people who

Depend on you, your strength,

And your well-being.

Promote your own mental health

By keeping up with people and

Activities you enjoy.

Find support when you need it.

Remember that by caring for your

Mental health and getting help

When you need it, you can

Enjoy life at any age.

Don’t be afraid or ashamed to ask for help…

Everyone needs help at some point.

FIVE TYPES OF ANXIETY DISORDERS

Posted on May 2, 2009 at 6:41 pm

There are Five major types of Anxiety Disorders:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Panic Disorder

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Social Phobia (or Social Anxiety Disorder)

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps one deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder. More about Anxiety Disorders »
