“Dementia is a growing concern among many aging people in the U.S. — especially Alzheimer’s disease. And since treatment options for dementia are limited, prevention is key.
Dementia risk is tied to common things like diabetes, high blood pressure, and physical inactivity. But some common medications are associated with dementia risk, too. Here are four common drug classes linked to dementia, and what the research says about your risk.”
“Taking care of your mental health is important. Sometimes that can be as simple as working more self-care into your day. Other times, you might need a little extra assistance from a mental health support group. A support group can be helpful for connecting with others who are going through your same situation and for learning new coping strategies.
You can find a variety of mental health support and therapy groups in both in-person and virtual formats. They can be run by nonprofits, hospitals, peer support specialists, or licensed professionals. The good news is, you often can join them for free or a very low fee.
Here is a guide to finding free and low-cost mental health support groups near you.”
Following the COVID pandemic, many professionals have predicted a “second pandemic” of mental health problems. The lockdown, the fears, the housing and supply shortages, more alcohol consumption, less physical activity, … all of these things combine to cause strain on our emotions and mental health.
The InsuranceExperts.team wants to encourage you to have a mental health check up just like you would have an annual physical. Start with your general practitioner or family physician. They can do a basic assessment and make recommendations. If you are experiencing sadness or anxiety, a counselor or therapist can help you work through the cause and find solutions.
Don’t let a mental health issue become a major problem!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! THERE IS SOMEONE TO HELP YOU.
