Depression

Do you know what depression is and how to spot it? Odds are, if you don't suffer from it yourself, you may not have a clue. Depression can be subtle, and often goes untreated because of common misconceptions.

Even the most serious cases of depression can be treated. No treatment plan will look the same, because treatment is tailored to each person’s individual needs.

Our society has come a long way in understanding the importance of taking care of mental health. Although there have been many improvements in how mental health is addressed, there is still a stigma involved, especially when it comes to suicide.

Suicide is a difficult subject for most. It's hard to think about it, let alone mention it openly. Yet the decision to speak up is the only way to prevent the increase in fatalities.

Pets can provide a great amount of comfort and happiness to their owners. In fact, owning a pet can help reduce stress and improve your mental health.

If you are self-harming, know that you are loved, needed, wanted, and appreciated. If you think someone around you is self-harming, reach out for help.

Research has found peer support groups to be highly effective at improving mental health. Feeling isolated and alone is common among individuals with mental illness and peer support groups combat that by helping the group members see how others are similar to them.

Bullying can influence mental health, as well as physical health. We must teach kids to recognize bullying and how to stand up for each other.

The holidays are typically a season full of spending time with those you love, family traditions, and creating memories; none of this is the same after you have lost someone you love.

The holidays are an exciting time, but it can be difficult when you have lost someone you love, can’t return home, face financial stresses, or feel isolated. These feelings are commonly referred to as “the holiday blues” and are more common than you may think.
