You Can Live Your Life Well
Why Mental Health Matters




Some people think that only people with mental illnesses have to pay attention to their mental health.
But the truth is that your emotions, thoughts and attitudes affect your energy, productivity and overall health.
Good mental health strengthens your ability to cope with everyday hassles and more serious crises and chal-
lenges. Good mental health is essential to creating the life you want.




Just as you brush your teeth or get a flu shot, you can take steps to promote your mental health. A great way
to start is by learning to deal with stress.
How Stress Hurts
Stress can eat away at your well-being like acid eating away at your stomach. Actually, stress can contribute
to stomach pains and lots of other problems, like:
                                                                      headaches
                                                                      insomnia
                                                                      overeating
                                                                      back pain
                                                                      high blood pressure
                                                                      irritability
                                                                      vulnerability to infection

Stress also can lead to serious mental health problems, like depression and anxiety disorders. If you think
you have such a problem, you can get help.
Of course you can't magically zap all sources of stress. But you can learn to deal with them in a way that pro-
motes the well-being you want--and deserve.

Anxiety Disorders: What You Need to Know
Most people experience feelings of anxiety before an important event such as a big exam, business presenta-
tion or first date. Anxiety disorders, however, are illnesses that cause people to feel frightened, distressed and
uneasy for no apparent reason. Left untreated, these disorders can dramatically reduce productivity and signifi-
cantly diminish an individual's quality of life.

How Common Are Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental illnesses in America; more than 40 million are affected
by these debilitating illnesses each year.

What Are the Different Kinds of Anxiety Disorders?
Panic Disorder- Characterized by panic attacks, sudden feelings of terror that strike repeatedly and without
warning. Physical symptoms include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, abdominal
discomfort, feelings of unreality, and fear of dying.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder- Repeated, intrusive and unwanted thoughts or rituals that seem impossible to
control.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder- Persistent symptoms that occur after experiencing a traumatic event such as
war, rape, child abuse, natural disasters, or being taken hostage. Nightmares, flashbacks, numbing of emotions,
depression, and feeling angry, irritable, distracted and being easily startled are common.

Phobia- Extreme, disabling and irrational fear of something that really poses little or no actual danger; the fear
leads to avoidance of objects or situations and can cause people to limit their lives.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder- Chronic, exaggerated worry about everyday routine life events and activities,
lasting at least six months; almost always anticipating the worst even though there is little reason to expect it.
Accompanied by physical symptoms, such as fatigue, trembling, muscle tension, headache, or nausea.

But the truth is that your emotions, thoughts and attitudes affect your energy, productivity and overall health. Good mental health strengthens your ability to cope with everyday hassles and more serious crises and chal- lenges. Good mental health is essential to creating the life you want. Just as you brush your teeth or get a flu shot, you can take steps to promote your mental health. A great way to start is by learning to deal with stress. How Stress Hurts Stress can eat away at your well-being like acid eating away at your stomach. Actually, stress can contribute to stomach pains and lots of other problems, like:  headaches  insomnia  overeating  back pain  high blood pressure  irritability  vulnerability to infection Stress also can lead to serious mental health problems, like depression and anxiety disorders. If you think you have such a problem, you can get help. Of course you can't magically zap all sources of stress. But you can learn to deal with them in a way that pro- motes the well-being you want--and deserve.

  • 9. April 2013 Page 9 Anxiety Disorders: What You Need to Know Most people experience feelings of anxiety before an important event such as a big exam, business presenta- tion or first date. Anxiety disorders, however, are illnesses that cause people to feel frightened, distressed and uneasy for no apparent reason. Left untreated, these disorders can dramatically reduce productivity and signifi- cantly diminish an individual's quality of life. How Common Are Anxiety Disorders? Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental illnesses in America; more than 40 million are affected by these debilitating illnesses each year. What Are the Different Kinds of Anxiety Disorders? Panic Disorder- Characterized by panic attacks, sudden feelings of terror that strike repeatedly and without warning. Physical symptoms include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, feelings of unreality, and fear of dying. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder- Repeated, intrusive and unwanted thoughts or rituals that seem impossible to control. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder- Persistent symptoms that occur after experiencing a traumatic event such as war, rape, child abuse, natural disasters, or being taken hostage. Nightmares, flashbacks, numbing of emotions, depression, and feeling angry, irritable, distracted and being easily startled are common. Phobia- Extreme, disabling and irrational fear of something that really poses little or no actual danger; the fear leads to avoidance of objects or situations and can cause people to limit their lives. Generalized Anxiety Disorder- Chronic, exaggerated worry about everyday routine life events and activities, lasting at least six months; almost always anticipating the worst even though there is little reason to expect it. Accompanied by physical symptoms, such as fatigue, trembling, muscle tension, headache, or nausea. The content of this fact sheet was adapted from material published by the National Institute of Mental Health and the Mayo Clinic.
