Thank you, and have a great day!

Painted Brain is honored to be featured and to participate. Looking foward to it.

Mental illness isn’t contagious, but kindness is. Self-care will make you feel vibrant and alive and ready to make a difference in your home, community, country and the world at large! "Be kind to yourself and let your kindness flood the world"~ Pema Chodron . "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy a...nd daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. ~ Robert F.

Scientific evidence points out nine different causes of depression and anxiety. Two of them are in our biology. Your genes can play a role, and there are real brain changes that can happen when you get depressed that can make it harder to get out. But most of the factors that have been proven to cause depression and anxiety are not in our biology. Depression and anxiety are becoming more and more common in the Western world. Luckily, there are some excellent inspirational tal...ks on the TED website that give hope and direction for people affected by these disorders. These talks come primarily from people who can relate and have done a lot of research on the subject. In no particular order, here are 10 TED talks for anxiety and depression recovery: To read more click the link in BIO: or go to--> http://ow.ly/Bfz530r2Stf
