Redefine Goals to Alleviate Struggle

Recognizing when a goal is unattainable can prevent a downward spiral into depression. Research indicates that relentless pursuit of unreachable objectives can exacerbate mental health issues, as seen in women facing infertility during menopause. The shift from a mindset of persevering against all odds to reevaluating and possibly abandoning unachievable goals can lead to greater emotional relief and stability. By embracing a more compassionate approach and listening to patients' struggles, one can foster healthier attitudes toward goal-setting and mental well-being.
