Maintain Balanced Mental Health

For those that struggle to stay fit mentally here’s a list of five things, you can do to help thwart the onset of debilitating depression. (below image Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh)

One – Listen to Your Loved Ones

Listen to your loved ones when they mention mood swings or other identifying markers that you may be suffering. Those around us can see our blind spots.

Two – Prescriptions Can Help

There is nothing wrong with using prescription medicine to help you re-center. Talk to your doctor or counselor to surface the protocol that may work best for you. 

Three – A Balm for Your Soul

As challenging as it can be sometimes to discuss your mental state, talking can be a balm for your soul. 

Four – Accountability Works Magic

Be consistent. Keep appointments with your counselor. Take your medication. And allow your loved ones to hold you accountable. 

Five – Self Awareness is Key

Understand your triggers.
