Beyond the Buzzword
Beyond the Buzzword What Is Mental Health and Why It Matters Mental health is a term we often hear, but many people still struggle to define what it truly means.

It's about how we think, feel, and behave — and how we cope with life, relationships, stress, and change.

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.

Triggers
Understanding Triggers in People’s Lives: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How to Cope Life is full of experiences—some uplifting, others painful. Among these experiences, certain moments leave an emotional imprint so deep that even years later, they can be reawakened by something seemingly small: a sound, a smell, a phrase, a place, or even a passing thought.

Understanding what triggers are, where they come from, and how to manage them is essential for mental well-being and personal growth.
