The COVID-19 pandemic has been eye-opening for many Americans. While some of us have become more aware of how to properly take care of ourselves physically, the pandemic has also shed light on taking care of ourselves mentally. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 47% of adults nationwide have reported negative mental health impacts during the pandemic. This is a substantial increase from pre-pandemic levels. At the same time, Americans are open and willing to seek help for their mental health struggles.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought on an array of dealings to many Americans – isolation, the stress and anxiety of owning and operating a business, and financial stressors to name a few. In addition, celebrities such as Simone Biles and Justin Bieber have spoken out about their mental health struggles. After close to two years of riding the rollercoaster of the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans are realizing that it’s okay to not be okay – and that they’re not alone.
Thankfully, there are ways to seek help when struggling with mental health.
Get Moving
One of the best forms of medicine is sunshine and moving our bodies. While sometimes we need more of a medicinal approach, a walk outside in the fresh air helps more than some may realize.
Talk Therapy
There are licensed mental health counselors who are trained to help you. If you are feeling overwhelmed with your mental health, reach out to someone who can help.
Medication
Depending on your mental health struggles, there are medication options that may help. Whether temporary or long-term, these prescription medications are meant to improve your quality of life. Work with a professional to see what works best for you.
Ketamine Therapy
When you’ve tried the aforementioned medication route with no relief and suffer from treatment-resistant depression or chronic pain, then you may be a candidate for ketamine infusion therapy. Ketamine infusion therapy may be able to provide the relief you’ve been searching for to help you become the healthiest version of yourself.
