Did you know that without appropriate intervention, up to one-third of individuals with depression or anxiety disorders may experience symptoms persisting for several years?
In fact, most people who do not seek timely help can struggle with these conditions for up to a decade or more on average.
Ignoring anxiety, depression, or trauma can lead to more severe consequences like developing chronic health issues, social isolation, and reduced quality of life.
