Wellness

There’s a lot of information out there about wellbeing and happiness written for the general population. However our focus is the wellness of the mind which in the end determines the state of your inner life. There is a broad range of concepts and ideas that support a healthy mind and we will look at them from the the perspective a person with a mood disorder.

Treatment

There are advances in the knowledge and treatment of depression everyday: the link between your brain’s biochemistry and the disease; your brain’s ability to benefit from self directed thought; new regimes and medications to for your mood disorder. The more you know the better able you are to deal with the disease.

Society

Sometimes when others find out an individual has a mood disorder, the person can lose a job/family members/friends. These types of losses simply add to the burden of the disease by increasing a person’s pain and isolation. The stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness is the number one reason why people don’t seek treatment. This is wrong. This problem can’t help but influence the way you think about yourself and the disease. If you have a mood disorder, you have an opportunity to take your experience and better society for all of us.

Your Participation

Your comments are important. Depression and bipolar disorder is a closet illness. There are many things about the disease which don’t get talked about; a lot of connections that don’t get made.  Suitable guest posts are encouraged.
