This week we discuss the physical Side-Effects of mental health. Often, we overlook the side effects of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. Side effects can range from severe to non-existent. Each and every one of us is different, therefore how we feel may not be exactly the same as how other individuals feel. We can, however, find common ground with the most frequent side effects from these mental illnesses. Self-awareness is of vital importance. Detection of side effects like panic attacks, sweating and dissociation can help identify if there is potentially something wrong with you or people you know. For example, if your spouse has become reclusive, it may be a sign of something which stems from a form of mental illness. It is best not to self-diagnose, but to seek professional medical guidance as the best route forward. Compassion and empathy go a long way.
