    • Let's get familiarized with some concepts related to Mental Health

      Anxiety:

      Anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. For a person with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. The symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, school work, and relationships.

      For more information on various types of anxiety disorders click below:

      https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/anxiety-disorders/index.shtml

      For information on dealing with stress click below:

      https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/stress/index.shtml

       

      Depression:

      Depression (major depressive disorder or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks.

      For more information on various types of depressive disorders click below:

      https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/depression/index.shtml

       

      Suicide:

      Suicide is complicated and tragic, but it is often preventable. Knowing the warning signs for suicide and how to get help can help save lives.

      For more information on suicide signs, symptoms, and prevention:

      https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/suicide-prevention/index.shtml

       

      Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder:

      Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a childhood condition of extreme irritability, anger, and frequent, intense temper outbursts. DMDD symptoms go beyond being a “moody” child—children with DMDD experience severe impairment that requires clinical attention.

      For more information on DMDD click below:
