The Link Between Depression and Anxiety: How They Are Connected and How to Cope. Content Warning.
Depression and anxiety are two of the most common mental health issues, showing presence simultaneously in an intricate system. Even though they are separated—depression consists on persistent feelings of sadness, exhaustion, and loss of motivation, while anxiety concerns itself with having too much to worry about, being on edge, and experiencing physical symptoms such as a racing heart—they tend to overlap a lot.

Differences Between Mental Health and Mental Illness
Understanding the Difference Between In recent years, conversations about mental health have become more common, and society has taken important steps toward acknowledging the emotional and psychological struggles that many people face. However, even with this growing awareness, there’s still a great deal of confusion between two closely related concepts: **mental health** and **mental illness**. Though they are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing.

Fortress Fantasies and the Sworded Self: A Psychoanalytic Glimpse into the Fantasy Lexicon of Mein Kampf
The fantasy terms extracted from the opening of Mein Kampf suggest a submerged narrative brimming with latent violence, wounded idealism, and compensatory grandiosity--what Freud might have identified as the language of a psyche still negotiating its earliest wounds. The imagery begins with "fortress imprisonment" and "relentless work," metaphors not merely of external circumstance but of inner structure--one imagines a child's psyche locked in a lonely keep, defending itself from an encroaching, perhaps chaotic world. Fortressness implies walls; imprisonment implies a crime, or at least a punishment. The author's symbolic self is simultaneously jailer and captive, judge and judged.

The sound of silence. Content Warning.
The Sound of Silence Amid the cacophony of daily life, silence blooms like a rare flower, inviting contemplation. I find myself musing over the idea of presenting my inner thoughts as a narrative, navigating the delicate interplay between chaos and tranquility. Yet, I often hesitate, fearing that my words may become lost in the noise.

Ending the Stigma of Bipolar Disorder
Emotional and behavioral disorders are the most commonly under-represented disorders in the country. While there has been much research on the subject, many problems arise with the failure of many people to recognize the serious disabilities associated with these disorders. Bipolar disorder, or manic depression, remains at the top of the list of most under-recognized. The results of the severe ups and downs of manic depression can be devastating, and these types of disorders are rarely discussed in schools. More should be done to educate early on about these disorders to teach that acceptance is key in understanding these difficult mental and emotional disorders.

What is Social Anxiety Disorder?
Social anxiety disorder is an anxiety disorder in which the person has a persistent fear or worry during social situations. This can make it extremely difficult for the person with the disorder to participate in normal social events and keep friendships and relationships. Those who do not know and understand the nature of the disorder may assume that their friend is just bailing on them when they actually have anxiety or worry about going out and socializing with others.

The Orchard Within
The Orchard Within For years, Jonas Vale had chased the world. He had the kind of success that people recognized from across the street—tailored suits, a German car with a name that sounded expensive, and a loft with windows that stretched from floor to ceiling. People admired Jonas. Envied him. Clients trusted him. He was always early, always sharp, always moving.

The Wall
The Wall" There was a time when Daniel Gray moved through life with the kind of confidence people mistook for certainty. At thirty-two, he had a stable job in finance, a sleek downtown apartment, and a calendar packed with meetings, gym sessions, brunches, and the occasional weekend trip to the coast. To most, he was successful. Controlled. Ambitious.

The Green-Eyed Trap
“The Green-Eyed Trap: How Envy Quietly Destroys from Within” Envy is a universal emotion—one that quietly lingers in the human psyche, often disguised and rarely acknowledged. It sneaks in during moments of comparison and self-doubt, whispering that someone else’s success is a reflection of our failure. While envy might seem harmless or fleeting, its long-term repercussions can run deep, affecting not only our relationships and emotional health but also our personal growth and overall well-being.
