Workplace bullying is a pervasive issue that can have detrimental effects on both employees and organizations. It refers to repeated and unreasonable actions directed towards an employee or a group of employees, which can cause physical, emotional, and psychological harm (Lutgen-Sandvik, 2007). Addressing workplace bullying is essential for creating a healthy work environment and maintaining employee well-being.
In today's fast-paced world, the pursuit of mental well-being has become a shared goal. While therapy and medication are often emphasized, the foundational pillars of diet, exercise, and sleep quietly play a monumental role in shaping our mental health. Their influence is profound, affecting every emotion, every thought, and every action in our daily lives.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about various aspects of daily life, such as health, finances, or work, which individuals find challenging to control (American Psychiatric Association, n.d.). This pervasive anxiety can significantly impact communication, leading to misunderstandings and strained interactions.
Tourette Syndrome (TS) and other tic disorders are neurological conditions characterized by involuntary, repetitive movements or vocalizations known as tics. These conditions often emerge in childhood and can significantly impact an individual’s daily life, social interactions, and self-esteem. Recent media representations, such as the documentary Breyland Outloud on Max, have shed light on the lived experiences of individuals with tic disorders, helping to destigmatize these conditions and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and support.
In a world where change is the only constant, uncertainty can feel like a relentless tide, often leaving us adrift with feelings of anxiety and helplessness. Over the past few years, global events such as pandemics, economic fluctuations, and social unrest have amplified these feelings for many. During such trying times, finding resilience amidst uncertainty becomes not just beneficial but essential.
Fear is one of the most powerful and pervasive emotions that can influence human behavior on both an individual and societal level. It has been used throughout history as a means of controlling the masses, instilling compliance, and manipulating public opinion. However, the impact of fear on the human brain can be destructive, leading to a range of negative consequences for mental health and well-being. Understanding how fear operates as a tool of control and learning strategies to keep calm during high-stress events is crucial for maintaining psychological resilience and autonomy.
