Mental Health: Our Facebook Group

Although Mental Health Awareness Month is coming to an end, it doesn't mean the support should end too.

A few weeks ago, we created a Facebook group - Anxiety, Stress & Depression Support & Natural Help. Mental health is usually not taken seriously, or rarely discussed. It scares people. But it shouldn't. It's as much of an illness as anything else...

Your anxiety is lying to you. You are loved & it will be okay.

Anxiety.

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a feeling of unease, fear, and alarm about what's to come. It’s the body's natural response to stress and pressure. Most people feel nervous and stressed under certain conditions for example the first day of school, going to a job interview, or a speech competition. That’s normal. But if these anxious feelings or severe stress last for a much longer time, such as more than six months, or if these feelings affect your day-to-day life, you may have an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety affects daily life activities; it can be extremely challenging to manage and can become permanent. A person suffering from the disorder may avoid such situations to prevent anxiety or stress.
