MENTAL HEALTH INSIGHTS |
|
The end of the year holidays can be a joyous yet stressful time. While many embrace the holiday season as a festive time to eat, drink and celebrate with friends and family, those with eating disorders such as binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa see it as a nightmare.

Many veterans experience a group of mental health conditions that tend to disproportionately affect military personnel. These conditions include post-traumatic stress (PTSD), depression, anxiety, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and substance abuse. Due to the traumatic environment in which active military combatants serve, veterans are at a significantly higher risk for developing these health concerns. These issues can often be addressed and resolved with the support of a mental health professional.
In honor of Veteran’s Day, it’s important to address the mental health stigma of veterans and their lack of support. Many avoid seeking out help for psychological problems because of the perceived stigma associated with needing mental health care. They may worry about what others think and how they are perceived. Stigma stems from misinformation, and can be resolved by spreading proper awareness.
During this pandemic, the biggest and most difficult change was when schooling transitioned to an online environment. Online learning and video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Blue Jeans came into the spotlight when teachers needed a way to virtually connect with their students. Modern technology has fortunately made it possible for us to effectively teach substantial curriculum online. In the past, online learning wasn’t seen as a favorable option. However, now that we understand how difficult it is managing work life balance, online learning is a life saver.
