Chasing after our dreams is something that we do regularly. Whether it be going to school, going to work, handling a business, and the like. Every day always serves as a stepping stone. In some cases, one might need a longer amount of time before reaching said goal. However, this usually depends on what we want to achieve and the circumstances that come along with it.

 


Moms, it's OK to admit it: 2020 has been one of the worst, if not the worst, year for parenting-and 2021 seems like it will follow suit. The entire family is spending most of their days at home, which means the cooking and the cleaning up after everyone never stops. It's easy to completely neglect ourselves in times like this because so many people depend on us, and we need to do all that we can to make sure that our home is a conducive place for our partners to work and for our kids to study.


But caring for ourselves is a crucial part of caring for others, too. We need to find ways to pamper ourselves in healthy and productive ways. Let 2021 be the year you also prioritize yourself by considering some treatments to look and feel good. Here are some ideas about where to start.

Psychological and emotional issues are still on the rise, as confirmed by multiple studies. A study from JAMA Network Open reported that depression cases among adults in the US is more than 3-fold higher compared to cases pre-COVID-19. And many mental health concerns, such as anxiety, can take their toll on people struggling with eating disorders. In some cases, it may even result in a relapse.


Eating disorders during the pandemic is a tricky yet serious discussion.


Here's what you need to know about the issues, potential treatments for eating disorders and other cities and how you can manage or help your loved ones.
