​Managing Traumatic Stress After Severe Weather

It is normal to be fearful when severe weather threatens, and anxious in the aftermath when severe weather strikes. However, if your anxiety is interrupting sleep, interfering with your ability to work, or causing difficulties in personal relationships, it may be beneficial to seek professional help. For more information and links to resources, see our Weather page.

Men's Mental Health Awareness

Mental health is an important determinant of overall health and quality of life at every age. Although men are more likely to suffer “deaths of despair” including alcoholism, overdose and suicide, they are far less likely than women to seek out mental health services. Undiagnosed and untreated mood disorders in young men are associated with impaired learning, risk-taking behaviors, use of substances and violence. Adult men with chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease have worse outcomes when they also suffer from depression, and depression is associated with decreased longevity in older men.

According to Mental Health America, the five major mental health problems affecting men are: 

1. Depression
2. Anxiety
3. Bipolar Disorder 
4. Psychosis & Schizophrenia
5. Eating Disorders
