“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.” —Aristotle Onassis

 

From the moment we are born, our brains are constantly accumulating information. Our memories, experiences, influences, and surroundings help shape the process of our brain development. So too, do these factors impact our thoughts, reasoning and mental well-being.  Therefore, the brain is our most complex and necessary organ.

According to U.S. Stress statistics, at least 77% of all people frequently experience physical symptoms that are caused by stress.1 The Center for Disease Control/National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health 2 estimates nearly 110 million deaths each year as a direct result of stress; equaling to $120 billion in healthcare costs, according to research performed by Stanford professors and a former Stanford doctoral student. Mental illness is also the leading cause of sickness worldwide.  Left untreated, the consequences of mental illness can be tragic.
