Why Practise Self-Care For Your Mental Health?
At Este Medical, we have seen first-hand how engaging in a self-care routine can help to reduce stress, and alleviate anxiety and depression.
Practising self-care and self-love helps to increase happiness, and triggers your body to release the fab four feel-good chemicals: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins.
Actions That Promote Positive Mental Health
If you are feeling low, experiencing stress at work or at home, or dealing with a troubling physical condition like hair loss, alopecia, menopause, severe face acne, or postnatal body changes, then we recommend you engage in positive mental health actions to lift your spirits and get you into a routine of self-care of your body and your mind.
Here are suggestions that can help get you on the right path when it comes to taking care of your mental health:
- Spend time making social connections face-to-face
- Share your feelings, release your pent-up emotions
- Get active: yoga, walk, bike, swim — get your body moving
- Active your senses — have a stimulating facial or body massage
- Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation
- Eat a whole food diet and skip the junk food
- Drink water: avoid alcohol which can depress your mood
- Have a regular sleep schedule, no doomscrolling before bed
- Take a break from social media, limit your online time for better mental health
What Can Cause Mental Health Problems?
World news, work issues, drama at home, illness, lifestyle factors, and physical conditions can all have a negative impact on mental health.
At Este Medical we have experience helping men and women address their mental health concerns by treating physical conditions to:
- Improve overall health (e.g., IV drip therapy)
- Boost self-esteem (e.g., hair transplant, acne treatment)
- Increase self-confidence (e.g., hair regrowth, weight loss)
- Enhance body positivity (e.g., body contouring treatment)
- Skin repair (e.g., face brightening, tattoo regret)
Whatever life experience you are going through right now, our team of Este professionals will compassionately and empathetically support you as you take action to regain your mental health, and put a self-care plan in place that treats any physical concerns that are keeping you down.
If you would like to book a free Este Medical consultation to discuss a skin condition, hair loss, or some other body issue that is having a negative impact on your mental health, we are here for you.
Este Medical Group Embraces World Mental Health Day
We hope that by making the connection between self-care and physical health we can help to raise awareness of mental health issues that are connected to conditions like hair loss, weight gain, and discoloured skin for example.
In our experience, individuals that take action to address hair, body, and skincare conditions have better mental health outcomes, as being proactive about an undesirable or unwanted physical condition has a positive impact on emotional and mental wellbeing.
