Anxiety - Know More

#anxietyawareness #mentalhealthmatters

Here is a video I had made during Covid year, that talks of Anxiety and Depression, and how you can recognise the same. At that point many people fell victims to anxiety born of isolation, and sadly that is now a worldwide 'pandemic' born of the other pandemic Covid SARS2.

When Anxiety and Depression strike together, it means a person needs medical intervention. At the minimum a therapist to hand-hold. A psychologist who can listen and help. If you or anyone you know needs help, please DM me here.

It never helps resolve any inner turmoil if one does not take measures to be informed and to heal. Healing oneself means one can live life longer, healthier and happier. Please equip yourself when you understand this more and may perhaps need help. Either for you or you family.

There are many more and much better resources that you can access to understand this condition more.
