Yes, it's better to look at overall health and not just one aspect!! Much agreed!! Glad this one is written!!

As a neurological patient, I've learned that I still need to be aware of any other physical ailments, along with taking care of my emotional well being!

Thanks for sharing this!!!
Thanks for this!
