ANXIETY and DEPRESSION

Often connected with one another, these wellness topics offer guidance on activities and thoughts when these emotions manifest.

Anxiety has several types of disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and various phobia-related disorders. Occasional anxiety is an expected part of life, but anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. 

Depression is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working.

We hope the artwork below inspires hope, optimism, and encouragement!
