Mental health is an essential component of overall well-being, influencing how people think, feel, and act. At C7 Mental Health, a comprehensive approach to mental health is taken that addresses well-being by considering physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. The goal is not only to alleviate symptoms but to understand the underlying causes and the life context of each person.
Emotional crises have increased in prevalence and complexity today due to factors such as globalization, technology, social changes, the climate crisis, and pandemics. Ignoring mental health problems can have serious consequences affecting a person's life in their physical, emotional, work, social, and family aspects. Chronic stress is related to cardiovascular diseases, digestive problems, and a weakened immune system.
The connection between mind and body is crucial to understanding the total impact of emotional crises. Therefore, seeking professional help is essential. At C7 Mental Health, there are various mental health professionals who offer individual, family, and community support. Asking for help is an important step towards a balanced and healthy life.
Changes in mood such as persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, or hopelessness are warning signs of mental health problems. Other symptoms to watch for include changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping, social withdrawal, self-destructive thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and increased substance use.
Seeking professional support through psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists, who provide diagnoses and treatments based on scientific evidence, is key in managing mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. They provide tools and strategies for effective stress management, fostering resilience. Recognizing warning signs and seeking help when needed is an investment in one’s own well-being.
