by Victoria Kennington October 09, 2023

Anxiety and depression are a reality of living in a technology driven, fast paced, high stress world. After the last few years, the number of people struggling with it has risen to unseen levels. I can’t help but wonder if some of that is because people are just finally talking about it. Conversations around mental health were taboo for so long and thank goodness, that is changing! We no longer have to feel alone on this journey.

Before I jump into the amazing healing power of crystals for mental health, let me say, they are not a substitute for professional mental health help. If you are struggling and don’t know where to start, contact your doctor or call the national helpline by dialing 988. There is no shame in asking for help. In fact, it can be the most empowering thing you do.

There are so many amazing crystals that help us harness our energy to fight mental health struggles. In this post, we will go over 9 gems you must have if you suffer from anxiety or depression.
