Did You Know?
Live a Balanced Life: Transforming Women's and Youth Mental Health
Did you know that women and girls suffer from depression and anxiety more than men and boys? Research shows that women have double the rate of lifetime depression and anxiety compared to men, and girls aged 14-18 demonstrate higher rates of depression than boys of the same age.
Due to misconceptions about mental health, many women avoid seeking help because of feelings of embarrassment or shame, the belief that the symptoms are normal, or simply having a negative view of needing help. However, it is important to remember that mental health is just as important as physical health, and seeking support can enable you to enjoy life and better manage challenging situations.
At Balanced Mind Mental Health, women and youth are provided with the tools and guidance they need to live happier and healthier lives. I listen to your individual stories and needs to create personalized self-care plans that incorporate lifestyle changes. My aim is to empower you with the resources and knowledge to foster balance and a better life.
If you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, have difficulty focusing, or experience other concerns, seeking help is your first step in finding a path to feeling better. Partnering with a provider who delivers compassionate, empathetic, respectful, and reliable care can help you identify the imbalances that have manifested as physical and mental distress. Schedule an appointment today and get the care you deserve!
