Talking about mental health 20, 30 years ago is very different from today. The information was scarce, and no one talked about this before—a person dealing with depression was considered lazy, and a person with anxiety was weird, not realizing that behind the physical, there was a mental issue going on.
In Latin countries, talking about mental health is taboo—there is no such conversation between families or the workplace. Latinos are taught to be strong from an early age, and having a mental illness is a sign of weakness. For this reason, many parents ignore how their children feel, and it can be a mistake that can end up causing terrible consequences.
For this episode, I'll be joining two beautiful women, Silenia Anselmo and Elisa Costa, to talk about mental health. How to take care of our mental health in time, mental health on a personal and professional level, and we will be debunking the myths about therapy. These are some of the topics of today's episode, press play, and don't miss it.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
Anselmo Consulting was created to offer a service to large companies to support their employees differently, providing them a healthier environment where their mental health is a priority.
There are many factors. It may be fear of being judged, feeling vulnerable, etc. Many times it is because people do not give it importance.
Not all mental health illnesses are the same, and some symptoms are more evident than others. If we notice a sudden change in our mood or energy, we must be alert. Some people sleep a lot, and others sleep less than 4 hours.
Large corporations are looking for star employees, and many times, we try to be that star. Unfortunately, these companies do not care about the employee but about the money that they generate for them. So take it easy, you and your health are the most important thing.
As you may have read in one of my posts on @iammantuana, I told you that the new generations are changing the game and putting the conversation about mental health on the table. Companies could be affected when recruiting new employees since millennials are more interested in their peace of mind over stability.
In this segment, we will debunk all the myths about therapy. We will talk about confidentiality, feeling judged, and feeling our emotions.
