Nevada Highest Ranked State For Stress - Psychiatrists Are In Demand
Nevada is often associated with positive things like captivating entertainment and fun vacations, but the state also has a much darker underbelly. In fact, Mental Health America, a nonprofit organization, ranked Nevadans as some of the most depressed people in the country, surpassed only by the residents of three other states. The Associated Press Economic Stress Index had even more somber news: In April 2010, Nevada was named the state with the highest stress rate in the U.S. Understanding why mental health in Nevada is at such an all-time low may well be the first step to changing this disturbing trend.

Take Ten For Mental Health In May

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 6, 2009 -- Is your mental health on the back burner? In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) wants that to change this May.

CAMFT suggests that taking a daily 10-minute "mental health break" each day could make a dramatic difference in an individual's overall health, especially in these tough economic times. Here are 10 tips for a successful mental health break:

1)Walk. A 10-minute walk is a quick way to get some energy to face the rest of your day. And we don't mean walking from your cubicle to the restroom. If you can, get outside. The fresh air will do you good.

2)Stretch. Whether you're sitting at a desk all day or always on the go, stress on the job has the tendency to make your muscles tight. Take 10 to stretch it out, focusing on your neck and back.

3)Schedule "me" time. Use your "10" to make a massage appointment, schedule a babysitter for a solo Saturday shopping trip or make plans to watch the game with the guys. Knowing you have a fun event coming up will brighten your mood.

4)Nap. A 10-minute power nap is a quick way to decompress and re-energize. Get away from your desk if you can - any patch of green grass will do!

5)Laugh. Watch a video clip from your favorite comedian. Call your hilarious high school friend who always has a joke. Or step out for coffee with your favorite co-worker who has funny stories about his kids.

6)Journal. Writing for 10 minutes can help you process what's on your mind. Give yourself free reign - nothing is off limits. You can whine, kvetch, brag or obsess as much as you want.

7)Say thank you. Is someone making your life better, easier or more enjoyable? Whether it's a family member, co-worker or a friendly barista, take 10 to personally thank the person or write and send a thank you note. Your mental health will benefit from the karma.

8)Breathe. Taking 10 minutes to focus on your breathing can noticeably reduce stress. 70-90% of doctor visits are stressed-related. Do your part to make sure it's not you.

9)De-clutter. Is your desk covered in paper, to-do lists and leftover lunch scraps? A clutter-free work environment will reduce stress and help you focus.

10)Find a therapist. You're worth it. It only takes a few minutes to visit www.TherapistFinder.com and find a therapist near you, who can help you cope with any issues that are preventing you from living a full and happy life. Whether you're married, single, in a relationship or in a family, therapists can help you cope with issues like anxiety, stress, relationship problems, work struggles or challenging family dynamics.

"Good mental health is one more tool for overall healthy living," said Mary Riemersma, executive director of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. "A marriage and family therapist can be a critical part of your total healthcare team who contributes dramatically to your quality of life."
