Building DEMS

Is your mind overwhelmed by worries and anxieties? Are low moods and stress getting the better of you?

If you are looking for an evidence-based non-medication approach towards enhancing your mental and emotional health, then DEMS might just be what you need.

Depression, anxiety and stress are no strangers in today's world. In fact, they have been on the rise in recent decades. When they strike, you may feel like things are spiralling beyond control and life is breaking down. The thing is this - studies have found that attending to your well-being in your daily life can prevent your mind from being flooded by the troubled waters of depression, anxiety and stress.

This book serves as an important guide to help you regain control of your life when the going gets tough. By incorporating the proven elements of diet (D), engaging activities (E), mindfulness (M) and sleep (S) into your lifestyle and self-care routine, you can:

• Develop a healthier level of mind
• Curb rumination
• Manage fears and anxieties
• Achieve better work-life balance

You will learn principles, strategies and tips of how the four components of DEMS contribute towards to your personal wellness. DEMS incorporates emerging research and therapies, and explicitly addresses problem areas like depression, anxiety, stress, overthinking and insomnia. This book is also filled with reflection questions and activities to encourage and guide you in applying DEMS. You will be given a free personal DEMS plan which you can use to customise and implement DEMS into your regular routine.

A Personal Note From The Author:

"I know that many of you are looking for help in improving your mental and emotional well-being apart from psychotherapy and medical treatment. Thus, I put together the DEMS approach based on cutting-edge research done in recent years on the positive impact of diet, engaging activities, mindfulness and sleep. While mood problems are usually a complex interaction between triggers, past experiences, thoughts, emotions and behaviours, DEMS can go a long way in helping you build resilience and cope with challenges."
