As we age, we face different kinds of stresses than we did when we were younger. It may be that we start thinking about our mortality more often or we become disconnected from friends and family members which can lead to loneliness. Or we might not be as active as we once were, so we don’t feel the same sense of purpose. Whatever the root cause, the sad or negative feelings that we experience when we get older are legitimate and quite common. So, what are some of the keys to successful aging? Well, it turns out that one of the answers is really simple — get a dog. If you are like many animal lovers, you already how much joy a pet can bring [...]

Don’t Miss These Five Mental Wellness Podcasts

2022-12-20T03:00:41-05:00January 14th, 2020|Categories: Health|Tags: , |

In our blog last week, FirstLantic discussed the issue of depression in men and the reasons why many are not getting treated. We also provided a list of resources available to help those that are struggling to find help. Although our last blog discussed some of the most debilitating aspects of mental illness, there is no doubt that many of us suffer from some sort of anxiety or stress. It may not be as life-threatening as severe depression that can literally take your life, but it can still be painful and make you feel incredibly alone.   If you are experiencing some of these issues, you might benefit from a “safe space” — somewhere where you can go (at your leisure) to hear from experts [...]

Too Many Men Aren’t Getting Treated for Depression

2023-01-17T01:23:11-05:00January 7th, 2020|Categories: Health|Tags: , |

Recently, an article was published that focused on ten issues facing men that often go unrecognized. The article was intriguing for many reasons but one of the topics that was most concerning was the rate of depression in men and the toll that is taking on our society. FirstLantic decided to further explore the extent of the problem and the ways that more men can get the help that they deserve.   The Numbers   While depression is more common among women than men, studies show that the illness often goes undiagnosed in men resulting in higher suicide rates. In fact, according to research, men died by suicide 3.54x more often than women in the year 2017. And white males accounted for 69.7% of all [...]

Three Famous Men Who Reinvented Themselves

2023-01-17T01:25:30-05:00January 2nd, 2020|Categories: Health|

Change is inevitable and yet so many of us resist it out of fear of the unknown. Yet without change, society would be stagnant. Scientific breakthroughs that have improved our world such as the polio vaccine would never have been discovered. Culture, agriculture, education, business would all eventually fail. And while change is not always easy, there are ways to embrace it and turn into a way to reinvent yourself. This week, FirstLantic home care  explores how three highly successful men in history reinvented themselves and how you can as well.   Peter Mark Roget Although his name is recognizable, you may not be immediately familiar with the man behind it. However, chances are that you have used his most famous work. Peter Mark Roget [...]

How Men Can Survive a Midlife Crisis

2022-12-20T03:03:10-05:00December 25th, 2019|Categories: Health|

We all know the clichés – red sports car, 25-year-old girlfriend, gray hair turned back to a somewhat unnatural color. These are some of the most common stereotypes of men going through a midlife crisis. But there is nothing funny about the feelings that men (and women) experience at a certain age. Of course, not everyone goes through this, but most people succumb to feelings of nostalgia for our younger days. Even if the younger days weren’t that great, we can convince ourselves that life was easier, more exciting and it seemed as if there were unlimited possibilities. If you are feeling some of these things, don’t beat yourself up about it. Instead, practice some techniques that will help you focus on the future and [...]

Animal Heroes

2022-12-20T03:04:21-05:00December 10th, 2019|Categories: Health|

Last week’s FirstLantic blog was about heroes — people who believe that it is better to give than to receive and are proof that helping others is the real reward. But what if we told you that not all heroes are human? For anyone that has known the love and loyalty of an animal, we’re sure that comes as no surprise. Pets are known to reduce stress and depression and keep their owners more active but we don’t often associate animals with saving our lives. Well, prepare yourself for some hero pets that are as deserving of recognition as their human counterparts. We hope that you will be so inspired by these amazing animals that you might even decide to adopt or foster a pet [...]
