Anxiety Disorders

They can impair quality of life, cause subjective distress, and impact functional capacity. Anxiety disorders manifest through physical, behavioral, and psychological symptoms.

Coping with Stress

Work, children, financial concerns... our lives are filled with pressures that can impact our health. One of the obstacles in managing stress is that many people are unaware that their lives are driven by stress, despite the constant signals from their bodies.
So, what are the effects of stress, and how can we effectively cope with it?

Eating Disorders

Many people sometimes feel that they are not satisfied with their weight, but when talking about eating disorders, the dose of these feelings throughout the day is much increased - and becomes very central in everyday life, to the point of dealing with them almost exclusively. In addition, the body will not receive its nutritional needs.
At the center of the disorder is the mental distress it causes, accompanied by nutritional damage.

Eating Disorders, Body Image, and Their Impact on Mental Health

Anorexia nervosa, also known by the short name 'anorexia', is an eating disorder characterized by a distorted perception of the body structure and weight of the person suffering from it.

Postpartum Emotional Health

After childbirth, many women experience a wide range of emotional states, sometimes complex – and this is entirely normal. Feelings of sadness, frustration, anger, or even depression during pregnancy and postpartum are very common and are often referred to as "postpartum blues," or in more severe cases, "postpartum depression."
In severe cases, these feelings may be accompanied by significant functional impairment, and in rare and extreme cases, even thoughts of self-harm and/or harm to others, including the baby.
It’s important to know that you are not alone.
