COVID-19 has already changed some things about our lives forever. And while much of the country is starting to ease restrictions, it will be quite a while before we can go back to our “old normal”.

Don’t Miss These Five Mental Wellness Podcasts

First Lantic2022-12-20T03:00:41-05:00January 14th, 2020|Categories: Health|Tags: mental wellness, podcasts|

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.

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 [...]

Recently, an article was published that focused on ten issues facing men that often go unrecognized.

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 [...]

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 [...]
