7 Things About Mental Health You Should Know | BetterHelp

If you or someone you know is dealing with a challenging situation and could benefit from additional support, consider talking to one of the 10,000 licensed online counselors at BetterHelp.

When a person has a physical health issue, they see the doctor. However, when an individual faces a mental health problem, they might be hesitant to see a therapist or other mental health professional. Why do you think this is? One reason is the stigma surrounding mental illness is real. How do we fight against this issue? Seek therapy despite feeling fearful about being judged.

Mental health and physical health are interconnected though you might not realize it. If you’re not getting enough sunlight, your body isn’t receiving the appropriate amount of vitamin D. When you don’t get outside enough and feel the sun on your face; you’re opening yourself up to feeling depressed. Some people experience this more in the wintertime. Other individuals who manage chronic depressive episodes are symptomatic because of their brain chemistry, nutritional factors or substance abuse issues.

Taking care of your mental health is crucial. There is no shame in seeking out therapy or counseling if you’re living with a mental illness or trying to get through a challenging transitional period such as the death of a loved one or divorce. Therapy doesn’t have to last indefinitely, depending on the mental health issue. Some people talk with a therapist to gain positive coping skills and then move on, while others see the value in a long-term therapeutic relationship to manage symptoms of mental illness.

There’s no wrong reason to see a therapist or counselor. If you believe that therapy is something that could help you, take a leap and search for a therapist in your area or try working with an online counselor. Treatment could improve your quality of life!
