Surviving a stroke can have a major impact on one’s physical, emotional, and psychological health. This is significant for stroke survivors as well as the people around them, offering support and care. While many people associate strokes with physical disabilities, it’s essential not to overlook the emotional and psychological effects as well. This article aims to shed light on the mental health effects of having a stroke and how stroke survivors and caregivers can promote recovery and improve overall well-being.
As Mother’s Day approaches, we are all reminded just how important mothers are to the joy and well-being of families, communities, and the world, and rightly so! Moms tend to prioritize the needs of their loved ones before their own, but it’s essential to remember that taking care of themselves is just as important as taking care of others. In addition, mothers can enhance their quality of life by prioritizing their health, especially their heart health. This article focuses on why hypertension is an essential issue that mothers should pay attention to and how to take the necessary steps to manage it.
