Negatively Impact Mental Health

How Feeling Unsupported or Ignored by Your Government Can Negatively Impact Mental Health

Feeling unsupported or ignored by your government is tied to a lot of mental health issues. Because you feel insignificant, unlovable, and unworthy, your self-esteem might fall. Stress and anxiety might attack you as well. The sad part is that these issues can escalate if you have a history of mental illnesses. The silent treatment from your government can also cause physical distress. You see, the silent treatment stimulates the part of the brain that detects and interprets pain, making you feel physically hurt. This can also trigger insomnia, headaches, and digestive issues. Not sure how to handle physical and emotional distress from being ignored by your government? Check out with a qualified therapist for professional assistance.
