Mental Health for College Students: Practical Life Strategies for Stress, Anxiety, Depression, and More: Backed by Research

When it comes to mental health, counseling is often for emotional support and coping skills while prescribers often focus on medications and medical interventions. This book is about proven steps YOU can take (and key information to help you make informed choices to find things to decrease or stop doing) in your everyday life to have better mental health. I have sorted through tens of thousands of research papers to find proven techniques and combined them with real world experience and insights as a psychiatrist working with thousands of people in applying and fine tuning these strategies to improve their mental health and achieve their full potential. I also draw from experiences working with leaders, policy makers, and countless college health professionals from universities across the United States through various leadership roles in the American College Health Association including as a chair of the mental health section, board member, conference program planning committee chair, etc. Let me show you all that you can do in your daily life to improve your mental health either alone or in conjunction with professional treatment. In this book you will also find effective strategies for everyday life to combat anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, focus, fatigue, loneliness, transitioning to college life, graduate school, and much more as a compliment to traditional treatments such as counseling, medication, etc. You will learn how to optimize nutrition, exercise, meditation, and yoga for mental health, how to use food strategies to combat low moods, anxiety, focus, academic brain power, and enhance overall mental well-being. Digital wellness strategies involving technology misuse, social media, electronics and mental health are also discussed. Understand the complex impact and insights regarding alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis use on mental health while exploring strategies to manage seasonal depression. Uncover powerful techniques to heal, soothe, become stronger and more resilient. Unlike other self help books, this book combines clinical research, real world experience, and expert insights from a decade plus of experience in helping people flourish and get on a course of continuous self improvement. This book is a must have for young adults or anyone working with young adults seeking to unleash their full potential. Buy today and start your path to a better you!
