Severe stress can impact you physically and mentally. It can lead to symptoms like headaches, chronic health issues, and sleep problems, just to name a few. Our ability to cope with stress greatly affects the way it shows up in our lives.
There has often been a stigma attached to seeking help for mental health needs. Although the general discourse regarding mental health has changed drastically in our society, we still need to bring awareness to the importance of mental health.
The fact is - 1 in 4 people will suffer from some form of mental illness in any given year. Not all pain is physical and not all wounds are visable. Whether experiencing a season of life that has knocked you down, or dealing with a lifelong mental health condition, there is no shame in seeking help.
