Gratitude can be a powerful tool for mental health. Research shows that practicing genuine gratitude can shift our focus away from negativity, easing anxiety and depression by keeping us grounded in the present moment.

Remember, gratitude doesn't erase pain—it offers a way to balance difficult feelings with appreciation for what we have now.

At PDG Therapeutics, we encourage everyone to find small moments of gratitude, even on tough days—it might be just the lifeline you need to feel a little lighter today.
