What are unhealthy habits?

Understanding Unhealthy Habits

Unhealthy habits are behaviors we engage in that are harmful to our mental, emotional, and/or physical health, and keep us from being our best selves. While these habits can vary widely, we know that engaging in unhealthy habits can increase the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, while also impacting mental health, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, these habits can disrupt daily routines, impair cognitive function, and strain relationships. Unfortunately, these habits can be incredibly difficult to break on our own, and failed attempts at behavior change can lead to a shame cycle that further damages our sense of self.

DID YOU KNOW?

Why Do We Engage in Unhealthy Habits?

77% of Americans report using unhealthy behaviors to cope with mental health struggles. It’s important to remember that most of us engage in an unhealthy habit to meet a need, either conscious or subconscious. To create meaningful and lasting change, we must explore, understand and address that need. It’s also important to explore our “why” for any behavior change; we must connect with our values and gain a deep understanding of the person we hope to become.

Examples of Unhealthy Habits

Unhealthy habits vary from person to person, however working with a psychiatrist will help to identify and treat them.

Tobacco use (Vaping or smoking)
Other substance use (alcohol, marijuana use)
Pornography addiction
Social Media Addiction
Television or Video game addiction
Device addiction
Shopping addiction
Poor dietary choices / Binge eating or overeating
Lack of physical activity
People-pleasing

“Started coming to Meah about a year ago for general anxiety and they've been extremely helpful. They looked into some supplements that would compliment other medical issues to address some nutritional imbalances that could contribute to anxiety to start. From there they have been helping me through talk therapy and I have experienced a lot of growth in my ability to regulate my anxiety since.”
