Insights
Mindfulness has been shown to aid in mental well-being. If possible, it is best to introduce an alternative to medications that may cause dependency issues, which is a concern for some individuals. Additionally, a self-assessment product focused on prevention is ideal especially because it is hard to recover from panic attacks, downward spirals, or deperessive episodes once they begin.
