Mental Health and Looking after Yourself: part one

ABSTRACT

There's so much research being done now on the impacts of COVID 19 psychosocially, in terms of mental health , politically, and economically. [...]how do you know when a normal dip or stressful time becomes something of clinical significance? Because the tricky part of depression, is once you're in it, it can be a lot harder to self-identify. When ideas of (*insert random intrusive death fantasy here*) are becoming a regular theme, not an occasional background thing you don't really notice, then it is time to take note. Which is an injustice, when you think that in many cases, assertive treatment of aggression can really restore so much quality of life.
