IONIA, Mich. (WOOD) — The changes to everyday life have many people feeling lost and fearful of the future. Therapists agree the number one thing that could spike anxiety or depression is often change.
Licensed Master Social Worker and Mental Health Therapist Megan Ledin, who runs a private practice out of Viewpointe Counseling in Ionia, explains change is hard for anyone but it’s especially difficult for those prone to anxiety or depression.
“Whenever there is a change in our life, big or small, it’s going to affect everything. Obviously, it’s affecting our jobs, it’s affecting our kids, it’s affecting the school world, the shopping, going grocery shopping. Everything has changed in our lives,” Ledin said. “We’re all human. We’re all in this together so I definitely want people to know there’s no right or wrong way to deal with this.”
