Everyone deserves to have access to mental health wellness treatment and guidance. Learned methods of self-medicating only worsen the effects of depression and anxiety, change the brain, and disrupt cognitive function which devastate preventative health measures. After review of this new modality to strengthen and improve mental health, I am so inclined to give it a go for myself. Great tool to utilize and hopefully enable promotion to those in need. I do believe there is too much reliance on our primary care providers to manage mental health in a holistic manner. A specialized, formulated plan that can work with individuals to form better habits alone or in combination with pharmaceuticals is better than medication alone. The loop closure of communication with PCPs is a great approach to keep everyone informed of progress, medications, and labs.

We are all aware that depression is for any age group.  Young children and teens can suffer due to epigenetic factors and peer pressures. Young adults can suffer the same too, add in a little more responsibility on your shoulders such as financial, job loss, loss of loved ones, failing marriages.  Our geriatric group is in the same categories, although have since faced a great deal of isolation since the recent pandemic.  I’ve had several acquaintances and friends who lost an older loved one and felt loneliness delivered the early death sentence.  Despite the above mentioned, everyone living with someone who is suffering from depression and/or anxiety suffers together.  The entire family network is affected by one individual suffering and unable to achieve mental health.
