The holidays can be a joyful yet demanding time. The thought of Christmas gatherings, holiday shopping, baking, decorating, and everything else on your to-do list may feel overwhelming. And if you’re experiencing a challenging season, it can be hard to picture finding joy in the festivities.
Over half of all people with mental illness don’t receive the help they need. Why is this? Why do we still struggle with so much stigma around seeking mental health support?
In recent years, we’ve navigated numerous challenges, including economic uncertainties, personal hardships, natural disasters, and an increasingly divisive political climate. These experiences have left many of us grappling with heightened anxiety. So, how can we effectively manage this overwhelming sense of unease?
In a rapidly changing world, many people are feeling the weight of depression and anxiety. Young adults and those in their 30s and 40s may experience intensified feelings of sadness or fatigue due to the pressures of economic uncertainty, social isolation, and other global challenges. During such times, reaching out for support, learning to nurture mental health, and connecting with others can be valuable steps toward a better outlook.
