Ways to improve your mental health

改善心理健康的方法

Start volunteering

開始志愿服務

A prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi tell us, "It is in giving that we receive."

阿西西圣方濟各的一段禱文告訴我們:“我們在給予中獲得。”

Turns out he was scientifically right. Studies have shown that putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return, or what is called being altruistic, stimulates the reward centers of the brain. Those feel-good chemicals flood our system, producing a sort of "helper's high."

事實證明他在科學上是正確的。研究表明，將他人的幸福置于自己的幸福之上而不期望任何回報，或者稱為利他主義，會刺激大腦的獎勵中心。那些感覺良好的化學物質充斥著我們的系統，產生一種“幫助者的快感”。

There are physical benefits, too: Studies show volunteering minimizes stress and improves depression. It can reduce the risk for cognitive impairment. It can even help us live longer.

這對身體也有好處:研究表明，志愿活動可以將壓力降至最低，改善抑郁。它可以降低認知障礙的風險。它甚至可以幫助我們活得更久。
