Professional stress and permanent lack of time are just two reasons why many people today are losing their inner peace and calmness. The consequences can be mental health issues such as depression and burnout. However, there are ways to counteract this.
It’s important to distinguish between serious mental health conditions and occasional mood swings. Of course, serious conditions should be evaluated by a doctor, who will determine whether treatment or at least an assessment by a psychiatrist or neurologist is necessary.
