OPINION
They say a problem shared is a problem halved. Some take that saying further by claiming a problem shared is one solved.
The essence of this age-old advice is that talking through a struggle
or challenge of any kind will buffer an individual from experiencing heightened levels of stress and anxiety and act as a preventative strike against mental ill-health.
