Preventing Anxiety and Depression
Short self-help handout.
"Feeling sad or worried is a normal part of everyday life. There are times, however, when these feelings become a 'mood' that begins to color the way we look at everything, even things that do not typically cause sadness or worry. Such a mood may have a physical cause—hormones, medications, fatigue, lack of sleep, pain, blood sugar, etc.—or it could be a feeling that somehow became hard to shake off. Either way, prevention can play a large role in not letting the mood 'stick.'"
