ATLANTA, Georgia.- For most people, this is a holiday season, however, there are some whose loneliness makes them go into depression and we don’t know what to do.

Mental Health has been one of the most important problems that this country has had after the pandemic, the economic crisis for many, the loss of family members for others and now the Christmas and New Year holidays, which in some cases are not synonymous with joy, but more with sadness due to the loneliness in which one lives.

Lack of mental health care can have a knock-on effect, harming everything from friendships, relationships, jobs, and overall physical health. There is nothing shameful about asking for help, and it does not show weakness. In fact, valuing your mental health and taking care of it is one of the strongest acts you can do for yourself and the people you love.
