Mental health and wellness

Abstract

Lack of sleep affects your mood, mental sharpness, and ability to handle stress. It’s also linked to mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. To create a healthy routine, go to bed and wake up at the same time every day — even on weekends. Exercise can release tension, tame stress, and improve your sense of well-being. Plus, it can relieve some symptoms of depression and anxiety as effectively as certain medications — all with no side effects. Speak up if you’re struggling. The people in your life are there for a reason, so be honest with your loved ones if you’re having a rough time. They can’t help unless they know you need their support.
