Alternative and Complementary Treatments For Psychosis

      Many individuals dealing with mental health disorders have had to deal with taxing prescription side effects for many years or have sought out additional steps they can take to keep their mental health in check.

Still, things like natural supplements or minor dietary changes can empower users to take their mental health into their own hands. Let's explore how you may do that if you suffer from any disorders that cause psychosis.

     Unsung heroes. In the past two years of the pandemic, that’s what our moms have proven to be. Despite bearing the brunt of COVID-19’s impact in the labor sector (many of whom lost their jobs or suffered pay cuts), these women made sure their family needs are taken care of by finding alternative ways of providing for their households.

Based on data from Investing in Women, one in four micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Philippines is owned by a woman.
