January 2022 - April 2022

FREE ANXIETY & DEPRESSION SCREENING
The screening is a simple questionnaire used to assess if you are suffering from depression/anxiety, and what resources might be available. If left untreated, depression can lead to serious consequences such as overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, sadness, demotivation and emptiness, sleep and/or appetite disturbances, difficulties with memory and decision taking and recurrent preoccupation about death. On its turn, long term anxiety and panic attacks can cause your brain to release stress hormones on a regular basis, with severe consequences on the immune system, increase risk of heart diseases, effects on all excretory, digestive and respiratory systems, as well as permanent headaches, muscle tension, back pain and significant increase of the risk of depression and social isolation. Accepting help and eventual treatment is the first step to living a healthier life.

Osteoporosis is not an exclusively female and postmenopausal disease, but osteoporosis is a serious public health problem for men as well; in fact, more than 20% of all hip fractures occur in males, and the incidence of vertebral fractures is about half that reported in females.
Male osteoporosis is often secondary, so it is always advisable to rule out other pathological conditions associated with osteoporosis. The causes of secondary osteoporosis are over sixty and can affect both sexes, all races, about two thirds of cases in males against one third in females, not only concern adulthood but can also involve young people. Causes of secondary osteoporosis have also increased due to the more frequent prescription of certain medications, also for this reason osteoporosis is found today more precociously than in the past.
