My Answers

How do I practice mental self-care?
Caring for and not abusing your brain is as important as it is with other parts of you body. Adequate sleep, relaxation, nutrition, and not over-taxing your brain are all parts of self-care. Learning how to better deal with today's stressors also is important, whether that involves meditation, prayer, stopping negative self talk, or other strategies are all important to caring for your mind.

Does depression damage your brain?
Depression is often the result of changes in the neurotransmitters in different parts of the brain. This can result in poor functioning in brain activities (eg., thinking and mood) which can make it appear that the brain is damaged. With effective treatment, these changes reverse. READ MORE
Can I ask my doctor for anxiety medication?
You can ask your doctor about anti-anxiety medications if your anxiety is interfering with your life. It is important that the anxiety be evaluated to make sure it is not the result of any other medical problems or side effects from medications. READ MORE

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, or hearing “voices.” Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.
