Your mental health sets the stage for how you feel in life. If you are feeling depressed, it saps your energy and desire to do things that are enjoyable. If you have anxiety, it negatively affects your physical and spiritual health.
Depression may be the result of genetics (your parents had depression) or a bad situation (someone close to you dies). Regardless of the reason, depression can cause you to feel worthless, unable to enjoy things you used to enjoy, or unable to leave the house. It may interfere with your work or your personal relationships. In extreme cases, it may leave you feeling hopeless and suicidal. Left untreated, it affects every area of your life. The first step in feeling better is talking about it.
Anxiety is excessive and persistent worry about future events that haven't even happened yet. Severe anxiety can lead to a panic attack, which causes shortness-of-breath and a racing heartbeat. Anxiety is dangerous if unchecked. Wellness reduces anxiety and stress and therefore leads to a healthier life. Desert Wellness can provide you tools to help you reduce the stress and anxiety in your life.
Grief is a feeling of sadness experienced with a loss. It may result from a death, a divorce, or a loss of employment. Grief is normal, however extended grief is not. If you find yourself unable to get over a loss, talking with someone can help. Desert Wellness has experienced counselors who can help you resolve the grief in your life.
Sadness, worry, jealousy, anger, resentment, guilt, fear, shame, loneliness, and low self-esteem are all things that interfere with the mind and can lead to a lower quality of life. The experienced counselors at Desert Wellness can help you address these negatives and overcome them.
