Focus On Your Lifelong Well-Being
Sponsored by Turó Park Clinics.
At the start of the year many of us began reflecting on how we feel in our bodies and minds and what we want to achieve over the coming year. This is the perfect time to focus on your lifelong well-being!
Well-being is a broad term, referring to what is intrinsically valuable relative to someone, and therefore there are many ways in which to improve your well-being; there is no one route for all.
Because the path to overall well-being may differ greatly among individuals, the comprehensive team of specialists that spans eight specialties at Turó Park Medical Center can support you to improve your physical and mental well-being.
The center's diverse team includes specialists in psychology, physiotherapy, osteopathy and well-being nutrition—all experienced doctors who will work with you and each other to encourage you to strike a balance in your everyday life.
Psychology and Emotional Wellness: Who to See When You Are Struggling
Whether you are experiencing mild stress or severe depression and anxiety, seeking support from a therapist can be greatly beneficial to your overall well-being. The general recommendation is that as soon as your everyday functioning is affected adversely by your mental state, you should talk to someone and seek help.
Friends and family can be the perfect people to resort to first. Those that you trust can be incredible sources of stability and strength when facing times of difficulty. However, many people find that a professional with a neutral and confidential stance allows them to face their challenges with more comfort, control and less fear.
Turó Park's mental health team warmly welcomes you to consultations, in-clinic or in the comfort of your own home through video-consultations, in which its psychologists and therapists will provide you with personalized support. The center's experienced, multidisciplinary team works with you to find the best solutions, holding confidentiality at its core.
Small Steps to Tackle Depression
There is growing evidence that one of the most effective ways to fight depression and its most feared consequence, suicide, is not to silence them. The clinic's team is working to break the silence surrounding mental health to help unmask undiagnosed cases of depression and promote general well-being.
Depression is very common. It affects millions of people, including some in your life who you may know of already, or not. All face similar challenges but each experiences it differently, and it frequently changes day-to-day.
The clinic promotes a few, small steps to tackle depression, summarized as follows:
- Talk about it. The key to initiating a conversation about depression is to be open, accepting and loving towards yourself and others.
- Today is not indicative of tomorrow. When having a down day, feel it rather than suppress it. All the while remember that tomorrow will present new opportunities to try again.
- Act on it. Consider going towards the emotions either with someone in conversation or writing it down. Do activities that you enjoy; recuperate your sleeping rhythm; read around the growing science between nutrition and well-being.
- Set attainable goals & recognize them. Replace an untouched to-do list with tangible achievements.
- And finally, but certainly not to be overlooked, consider clinical treatment.
When Should I Seek Help with My Mental Health?
There are many reasons to seek treatment, and none of them should make you feel ashamed in any way. The most important thing is to treat yourself with understanding, acceptance and a loving attitude.
Stress, anxiety, depression or a diagnosed mental disorder causing disruption to your everyday life, that occurs frequently, or is very intense, are all equally legitimate reasons to seek treatment.
It might be that coping without professional support is hard for you, or that you do not have a support network you can talk to or talking has not been helpful, all of which are good reasons as well.
In any case, simply book an appointment with one of Turó Park's team members for a video consultation or in-person appointment, to learn see how they can help you!
What Other Specialists Are Important in Well-Being?
Well-being encompasses not only our mental health, but also our physical health. The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which a person can achieve self-fulfillment, overcome the normal stresses of life, perform productive work and contribute to the life of his or her community."
Therefore, the act of prioritizing your lifelong well-being encompasses many disciplines, supported by a range of specialists, such as GPs, physiotherapists, osteopaths and nutritionists.
