Some days are tougher than others
Depression can lead to an increased chance of developing depression, heart disease, and stroke. Poor mental health can affect someone emotionally, psychologically, and with their social well-being.
It's Okay To Talk About It
Regular exercise may help ease depression and anxiety by releasing feel-good endorphins and taking your mind off of worries. It will help give you confidence as you meet your goals, gets you more social interaction, and helps you cope in a healthy way.
Some ways to reverse the stigma are by not letting the stigma create self-doubt and shame, don't isolate yourself, joining a support group, and speaking out against the stigma. Education on mental health is a great way to combat the stigma.
Talking to a friend or loved one may lead to you getting encouragement from them. It can help reduce your stress levels and improve your mood. It helps builds your support circle and they can assist you with finding a treatment or offering you a ride to an appointment for moral support.
