World Mental Health Day: Take Action
World Mental Health Day, observed annually on Oct. 10, is a global initiative to raise awareness about mental health issues and mobilize efforts to support mental well-being. Established by the World Federation for Mental Health in 1992, this day serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health and the need for accessible care for all.
Managing Uncertainty During Election Season
Election season can be a particularly stressful time for many people. According to a recent American Psychiatric Association poll, 73% of Americans feel anxious about the presidential election. Additionally, a poll by Myriad Genetics found that 38% of people are experiencing anxiety or depression related to the election, and 35% feel overwhelmed by the constant news and social media
coverage. It’s normal to have heightened negative feelings during this period, but there are ways to manage election-fueled uncertainty and symptoms.
