Mind Your Own Mind

We have come a long way, on the path of education, technology, and lifestyle management. Still, we treat mental health, as a taboo subject or something which doesn't even exist, even though the youth depression rates have risen from 5.9% to 8.2% since 2012.

A mental illness is a physical brain disease that results in cognitive, behavioral, energetic, or emotional abnormalities that make it challenging to manage the day-to-day demands of living.

According to Pinerest.org, the two most common mental health conditions are Anxiety Disorders – More than 18% of adults each year struggle with some type of anxiety disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder (panic attacks), generalized anxiety disorder and specific phobias.

Mood Disorders – Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar depression, affect nearly 10% of adults each year and are characterized by difficulties in regulating one’s mood.
