Psychological Problems
There is a lot of stigma that comes with a mental health diagnosis, and because of that, many people don’t ask for help when they’re suffering from psychological problems. Health isn’t limited to physical problems: your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being are all important pieces of the puzzle. Even mild concerns can have a big impact, and it’s important to talk about what’s going on with you.

Depression
Depression is an extremely common concern, with as many as 8% of Canadians experiencing a major depressive episode at some point in their lives. Even more people experience mild forms of depression that have a significant impact on their ability to enjoy life. More than just sadness, depression includes feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and an inability to enjoy things that were once pleasurable.
Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are a kind of extreme anxiety that include physical symptoms like racing heart, shortness of breath, and dizziness. It’s common for people to think they are dying or having a heart attack when they experience their first panic attack. They start suddenly, and usually last 10-20 minutes, although they can last for hours. Recurring or frequent panic attacks can be extremely disabling and a full assessment is a critical step in getting them under control. Find out more on panic attacks.
