Jason MacKenzie experienced the tragic effects of mental illness when he lost his first wife to suicide after she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He turned to alcohol to cope with the stress but later realized he was developing a drinking problem. After hitting rock bottom, he committed to sobriety and transformed his physical and mental health through diet, exercise, meditation and affirmations. The article discusses recognizing signs of depression and anxiety and maintaining good mental health through relationships, meaning, accomplishment, engagement and positive emotion as defined by Martin Seligman's PERMA model of well-being.
Depression and anxiety can do more than just to give you feelings of guiltiness, sadness or unhappiness. They can create unstable emotions, gloom or torpidity in you.
This book is written straight from my personal experiences. I discovered that depression and anxiety can rob you, your child or your loved one of your happiness, health, sleep, energy, memory, vitality, concentration, ability to work, play or love, and in chronic cases, your willing to live!
Unfortunately depression and anxiety are devastating illnesses that affect millions of Americans and other people around the world. Yet, they can be defeated.
I promise you that, by the time you finished reading this book, you will no longer be confused about depression and anxiety. You will know the myths, the facts and the sure ways to fight and defeat them using natural programs and medication.

The key message is that healthy leaders are better able to lead effectively due to having more energy, mental sharpness, and longevity in their roles. Maintaining good self-care allows leaders to optimize their performance and productivity.
Exercise, food, sleep, stress management, and sunlight exposure are some of the top factors that can significantly impact mood, according to the article. Exercise releases endorphins and serotonin to improve mental wellbeing, while eating the right nutrients supports brain and body function. Not getting enough quality sleep makes people more irritable, and stress takes a toll by soaking tension into the mind and body if not managed. The article also discusses hormones, hydration, mindfulness, and color as additional influences on mood.
I decided to dedicate my story to everyone; everyone who, like me, does not just suffer with bipolar disorder, and the trail of destruction it leaves behind in our own lives and the lives of those around us, but everyone who suffers with mental illness. I don't want any of you to feel as lonely as I have for most of my life. I'm also writing this for the family and friends that suffer with us; those who often carry on supporting us regardless.
This document discusses the relationship between religion and various psychiatric disorders based on studies. It finds that religion can influence disorders both positively and negatively. Religiosity is generally associated with lower rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, likely due to social support and coping resources. However, religious beliefs can also contribute to guilt, distress, and obsessions in some individuals with conditions like depression and OCD. The direction of causality between religion and mental health is complex and not fully understood.

The snowflake is a beautiful things. No two are alike. In this presentation I explain how we are like snowflakes. There is no one else like you and there never will be. In this fast paced world it's so easy to get caught up in losing our identity of who we are. The world tells us how to be and how to live but in that process if we are not daily getting our identity from the Lord we will lose ourselves, our purpose, our mission. This talk speaks to ultimately seeking his kingdom first to get the full understanding of how to take care of our bodies. If we try to take care of our bodies based on what the world says, it quickly becomes an idol. The Lord will direct your steps and free you from bondage of seeking what the world has to offer. He will show you what foods to eat, what exercises you need to do, what relationships you need to cultivate. As we are here for his Glory and his Kingdom and our vessels need to be strong to carry out his work.
Marlia, a 38-year-old professional woman, struggled with managing everything on her own after her new maid left one month after childbirth. She felt overwhelmed without practical support and could not depend on her husband. Marlia felt low and teary every day, unable to make decisions or manage tasks. Zarina's dreams of a natural birth were shattered by a C-section and issues with her baby. She argued with her husband who tried to help but did things incorrectly. Wardina knew something was wrong after her second childbirth when she felt miserable and had urges to harm herself during her confinement alone. She desperately wished to have someone to talk to. Postnatal depression can affect up to 1 in 10 mothers and
Practicing gratitude has social, mental health, and physical benefits. It increases positive emotions like happiness and decreases negative ones like depression.

The document discusses motivational interviewing techniques that can be used to motivate patients. It begins by explaining the stages of motivation and change that patients may go through. It then covers the key aspects of motivational interviewing, including using a guiding style rather than directing patients, understanding ambivalence, and working with a patient's intrinsic motivation for change. The document outlines the spirit, principles, rules, skills and process of motivational interviewing to help facilitate behavior change in an empathetic and collaborative way.
Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive and exaggerated worry about everyday events without reason. Symptoms include difficulty concentrating, restlessness, headaches and sleep issues. Anxiety disorder can affect anyone and is more common in women. Treatment options include therapy and medication like SSRIs. The document then shares one person's experience living with anxiety disorder, how they were diagnosed, their treatment process including therapy and medication, and how their life has improved since seeking help.
The document discusses the challenges doctors face regarding death and dying. It notes that doctors are expected to save patients and view death as a failure. While training prepares doctors to make logical decisions in crises, frequent encounters with death can trigger despair, shock, or emotional numbness. Witnessing memorable patient deaths evokes vivid memories for doctors. The document recommends that death be discussed openly, that feelings are normal and healthy, and that peer support groups provide validation for doctors to process deaths. Training in discussing end of life options with families could help doctors address this challenging aspect of their work.

This document discusses the complex causes of eating disorders based on interviews with 15 individuals struggling with disorders. It finds that contrary to popular beliefs, eating disorders often develop as coping mechanisms for stress, anxiety, depression or trauma rather than a desire to be thin. Many reported that disorders emerged during difficult life periods as a way to deal with overwhelming feelings or transfer worries into controlling food/weight. The document concludes that eating disorders have deeper psychological roots than dieting and require treatment that acknowledges their uniqueness and complexity for each individual.
The document provides 20 strategies for finding happiness and contentment during the holidays. These include releasing unrealistic expectations, taking responsibility for one's own peace, living in the present moment, recognizing that the past does not predict the future, responding to moments with wisdom rather than reactivity, staying optimistic, and focusing on what brings joy. Practices like deep breathing, ignoring drama, setting boundaries, and giving from the heart rather than obligation can also help promote well-being during the holidays.
Depression in teenagers can have biological and emotional causes, and symptoms include changes in mood, sleep, appetite, concentration, and thoughts of death or suicide.

Talking to others and medical professionals can help alleviate depressive symptoms.

Jason MacKenzie, of Presstran Industries, experienced the tragic
effects of mental illness when he lost his first wife, the biological
mother of his two children, to suicide.
“About ten years ago, shortly after the birth of our second daughter,
she began to act out of character. She got extremely angry a lot,
lost a lot weight and started disappearing for prolonged periods
of time.” There were other signs. Jason noticed that she wasn’t
sleeping much and she began drinking heavily and abusing
her prescription anti-anxiety medication. She was eventually
diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but their family went through
years of chaos and worry that ended with her taking her own life.
“Having to sit down and tell your five and six year old children that
their mother is dead and never coming back is an experience that
changes you forever.”
But the single father of two had another problem to overcome.
During this time, Jason turned to alcohol in order to cope with the
stress, and continued drinking every day, even after his wife had
passed. “My new wife, who is a saint, helped me understand what
I am capable of. My drinking was starting to upset her and she
pushed me, with love and increasing pressure, to be better.”
Jason hit his personal rock bottom during that time and began
feeling terrible about what he was doing to his family.
He woke up one morning—after a particularly bad day
that began with beer and ended in a bottle of whiskey, and
“… in a moment of complete clarity I knew I was finished
drinking. I have not touched a drop since and I know I
never will again.”
It wasn’t easy. He had tried and failed so many times, but when he
managed to stop, he realized that if he could accomplish that, then
there was nothing he couldn’t do. “I spent the next few months

JASON’S
SUCCESS
PLAN

Presstran
You can’t see a mental illness, like you can
a physical ailment, but chances are, you
or someone you know, is struggling with
anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or
one of the other many conditions that fall
under the umbrella of mental illness.
walking around amazed that I was living free of alcohol. I realized
that being capable of achieving goals and actually achieving them
are two different things.” Jason did some research and came
up with a plan. Practicing success rituals every day helped him
dramatically change how he looked at himself and the world. “I
meditate, practice daily affirmations, and use visualization.”
Now a trim 162 pounds, with only 7% total body fat, Jason eats
a mostly vegetarian diet. Presstran’s Department Leader of
Purchasing and Manufacturing Information Systems, rides his bike
most days to work, a 30km trek each way. “I’ve ridden 4500km on
my bike in the last four months. I’m the leanest and fittest I have
ever been. I understand that life is a journey and that I am far from
perfect, but I try very hard to make each day the best it can be
and next one just a bit better.”
Jason is fit, happier and healthier than he’s ever been and wants
to inspire others to find their balance for optimum health—both
physical and mental. Visit Jason’s blog, From Drunk to Monk
(fromdrunktomonk.com) to learn more about his incredible journey.

2. POSITIVE EMOTION
Viewing life with a positive
perspective. This includes:
happiness, peace, gratitude,
satisfaction, pleasure,
inspiration, hope, curiosity,
and love. Studies show that
recognizing positive emotions
over negative increase
performance, boosts health,
strengthens relationships,
and increases optimism
about the future.
ENGAGEMENT
“Being one with the
music” and using your
moral strengths to achieve
flow, the state of being
completely involved in
the present moment
and enjoying. The more
engagement that is
experienced the more
likely one is experiencing
wellbeing.
RELATIONSHIPS
(positive)
Good relationships are the
core to the wellbeing of
individuals. Humans are
“social beings” and we
require positive connections,
love, and physical and
emotional contact with
others. Studies have shown
that those with meaningful
and strong positive
relationships are happier than
those who don’t have them.
MEANING
Serving and
dedicating time to
help something
greater than
ourselves (e.g.
participating
in a volunteer
organization or a
getting involved
with a cause that
helps humanity).
ACCOMPLISHMENT
Striving to better ‘you’,
mastering a skill and/
or achieving goals.
Accomplishments are
measured by self-discipline
and extreme persistence.
According to research, those
who have a strong sense of
self-discipline and extreme
persistence are twice as likely
experience accomplishment,
in comparison to those with
only a high IQ.

P E R M A
Positive psychology studies human flourishing, happiness, and what makes life
worth living. Flourishing is a state where individuals are moving rapidly, becoming
successful, and thriving with whatever they are doing. The goal of positive psychology
is to move individuals from a state of negative and neutral to positive and flourishing.
Martin Seligman, a researcher in this field, developed a theory of wellbeing, which is
the state of being comfortable, healthy and happy. He created the PERMA model that
incorporates five essential to help bring wellbeing to your life.
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association
(CMHA), 4 of the 10 leading causes of disability in
developed countries are a result of mental disorders
(this includes: major depression, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder).
The burden of mental illness can have a detrimental impact on
individuals and society. Anxiety disorders and depression are
the most common mental disorders experienced by individuals.
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety can
help individuals increase their control over a mental illness, and it
can help individuals, and others, recognize if additional assistance
may be required.
DEPRESSION is defined as a mood disorder that affects the way one feels about
life. This disorder is much more than simply being unhappy; it’s complex and it is
caused by various factors including genetics, personality, stress, and brain chemistry.
ANXIETY DISORDER is defined as distress in an individual’s
life that negatively affects his or her ability work/study, socialize, and
manage daily tasks.
Every individual experiences times some level of anxiety during
their lives, however it’s typically short-term. The problem is when
a combination of cognitive, physical, and behavioral symptoms
persists over a long period of time. When symptoms become severe
they can be detrimental to an individual’s health. There are different
types of anxiety disorders including phobias, like claustrophobia and
agoraphobia, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and generalized
anxiety disorder. Since there are multiple types of anxiety disorders,
there are different signs and symptoms of each. Hallmark signs include:
When depression worsens, it can lead to thoughts of suicide. The uncontrollable
emotions and feelings of hopelessness can make an individual believe they need a
permanent solution. According to the CMHA, approximately 90% of people who take
their own life have a diagnosable mental disorder. If you, or an individual you may know,
are showing signs of depression for two weeks or more, it is advised that you reach out
for professional help. Depression affects millions of people but there are a wide variety
of treatments available to lessen the burden depression can have on one’s life.
Anxiety disorders can affect anyone. They are often triggered
by a specific event or stressful life experience. It is important to
acknowledge that an anxiety disorder is a real illness and many
people often think or hope they can “get over it” on their own.
Unfortunately this is not always the case and treatment can be
used to help individuals develop coping strategies and build
behaviours that can help them improve their well-being.

Social drinking is defined as casual drinking in a
social setting with no intention of getting drunk.
THE FINE PRINT:
Social drinking, even when done in moderation,
still comes with risks. Habits can escalate and
binge drinking in social situations can lead to the
development of a chemical addiction. If you’re
a social drinker, learn to recognize the warning
signs of alcoholism and seek help if you’re drinking
becomes an issue.
Addiction is defined as patterned usage of alcohol
that leads to impairments in functioning.
MAINTAINING OPTIMAL MENTAL HEALTH:
Alcohol consumption alters brain chemistry and can
act as a depressant which can lead to a decline in
mental health. Alternatively, struggling with a mental
illness also increases the risk that an individual
may turn to alcohol to try to manage or avoid their
symptoms. Many people have a relationship with
alcohol—they drink to relax, to build confidence, to
celebrate, or to feel numb, to forget, to say goodbye.
Self-medicating with alcohol is not exclusive to those
with mental illness, but excessive drinking and mental
illness are strongly correlated. Become familiar with
drinking patterns and reach out for help and support
when a potential drinking problem becomes evident.
SERVING SIZES:
Not all alcoholic drinks are created equal. The pure
alcohol content varies between wine, beer, spirits, etc.
One standard serving of an alcoholic beverage contains
.6 fluid ounces (14 grams) of pure alcohol. It’s for this
reason that different beverages have different serving
sizes, and why the bartender doesn’t give you a pint of
pure vodka or a shot glass of beer. It’s also why ‘one
serving per day for adult women’ does not mean a super-
sized, big-gulp cup that holds an entire bottle of merlot.
Think you know your way around a bar?
Match up the standard serving size in fluid ounces
to each type of drink:
12 OZ
1.5 OZ
5 OZ
3–4 OZ
2–3 OZ
8–9 OZ
17% FORTIFIED WINE
7% MALT LIQUOR
24% SCHNAPPS / APERITIF
5% BEER
12% TABLE WINE
40% DISTILLED SPIRITS
Alcohol has been around for centuries and
although it can have beneficial effects, like
lowering your risk for cardiovascular disease
and diabetes, it can be detrimental if used
inappropriately. According to the Mayo Clinic,
moderate alcohol consumption is 1 serving/day
for adult women and 2 servings/day for adult
men. What is a serving? We’ll get to that, but
first, let’s go over the important stuff.
Mental health and mental illness are not the same things.
Mental health is a state of well-being that includes one's psychological and emotional
welfare. In this state, one realizes their own ability, copes with a normal amount of stress,
works productively, and is able to make positive contributions to their community. Mental
illness describes a range of mental health conditions that can impair one's mood, thinking,
behavior, and mental health.
Just like physical health, there is no guarantee that you’ll never feel unwell. Recognizing your
state of mental health and understanding the symptoms or progression toward mental illness
is as important as washing your hands to prevent the spread of viruses. By recognizing early
signs, using preventative measures, like diet and exercise, and preparing a plan to cope with
illness can help you bounce back to optimal health as quickly as possible.
Research suggests that physical activity is
associated with a better quality of life and
has beneficial effects on one’s mental health.
Exercise stimulates the brain to release ‘feel-
good’ chemicals and helps to deter the release
of immune weakening chemicals. These
responses have both temporary and long
term effects, including notable decreases in
anxiety, mental fatigue, stress and depression,
while improving self-esteem, and enhancing
positive moods. Moderate to high levels of
regular physical activity can reduce the onset
of depression and can prevent the onset of
anxiety disorders and associated symptoms.
If you haven’t incorporated a fitness plan into
your lifestyle, here are a few suggestions to try:
DIET
There is evidence that diet can play a
critical role in the development, management
and prevention of mental illnesses such as
depression, schizophrenia, attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder and Alzheimer’s.
As our increasingly busy lifestyles create
a deficit in time for physical activity, our
consumption of processed and convenience
foods—sweets, fried, processed and high in
fat—has skyrocketed. Although not fully to
blame for our poor eating habits, stress has
been strongly linked with the compulsion
to overeat. Stressful situations cause the
body to produce a fluctuation in hormones
that trigger cravings for high-fat and sugary
comfort foods, that typically contain empty
calories and have little to no nutritional value,
and thus begins a cycle that can be difficult
to break.
According to the Mental Health Foundation,
a healthy diet can assist the body in
achieving a balance in mood, boost our self-
esteem and enhance our feelings of positivity
toward well-being. Poor nutrition can have
a negative effect on bodily functions and
cause inflammation and decrease our ability
to absorb nutrients thereby compromising
our mental health.
The next time you’re stressed, instead
of reaching for comfort food, try snacking
on mood boosting foods like nuts, berries
or a small portion of dark chocolate.

Exercise: Exercise can
help you relax, increase
your brain power,
improve body image, and
has also been considered
an effective strategy for
overcoming depression.
Get Outside: Fresh air can
boost happiness and help
you stay positive.
Sleep more:
Sleep helps your
body recover and repair
which helps to increase
focus and productivity.
A sufficient amount of
sleep can affect positivity,
sensitivity to negative
emotions, and mood.
Help others: Participation in
any act of kindness improves
our sense of well-being.
Strive to dedicate 100 hours/
year to helping others (e.g.
donate blood, respite work,
reading to seniors, serve one
meal/week at a food bank).
By helping others you can
also make a big difference
in your community!
Spend more time with
family and friends:
Psychologist and Harvard
Professor, Daniel Gilbert,
states that we are happy
when we have family and
friends. All other things that
we think make us happy
are just ways to getting
more family and friends.
Practice smiling: Studies
show that a smiling can
reduce pain, improve your
mood, and help you think
better. This effect escalates
dramatically if you pair a
smile with positive thoughts!
Meditate: This can help
to rewire your brain to
improve focus, attention
span, calmness, and
long-term happiness.
Practice Gratitude: This
increases happiness and
life satisfaction. Take a few
moments each day be thankful
for the good things in your life.
