Staying Well

Once you have had depression or have experienced a panic attack or anxiety, it is quite common to worry about it coming back or happening again. Most people do come out of their depression and go back to leading a normal life. Many will never experience another episode again. But chances are that it won’t be a straight and trouble-free path to wellness. Like lots of things in life, our mood goes up and down in reaction to things going on around us. And not all of these life events are things we can control.
