We oftentimes fail to recognize that clinical health and mental health are symbiotic. As many as 60% of breast cancer patients will develop depression at some point during the disease process; is it safe to say that uncontrolled anxiety can be a root cause of hypertension?
Why aren’t we addressing our mood disorders with the same level of attention as our diabetes? When left untreated do they not both markedly impact quality of life?
If you are struggling with chronic illness, postpartum depression, PTSD, etc. please reach out; we are here to help.
