0Drs. Saundra and Rakesh Jain are married mental health professionals who have been helping people achieve optimum levels of mental wellness for more than 25 years. 'Wellness Deficit Disorder' is a term they coined to highlight that mental wellness is in decline across America, which comes with a heavy price. Less than optimum mental wellness leads to increased stress, more depression, more anxiety, and poor physical health. The Jains' wellness initiative is called WILD 5 Wellness. The acronym WILD stands for Wellness Interventions for Life's Demands, and the 5 represents the 5 elements they identified that are essential to a person's sense of wellbeing - exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness and nutrition. They incorporated these 5 elements into a 30-day program that enabled people from all walks of life to maximize their sense of wellbeing. Rather than creating a program that contained recommendations that they assumed would lead to an increased sense of wellness, they designed a program that they knew was effective because it was based on sound scientific findings. Hundreds of people were studied, in a variety of settings, over an extended period of time. People who completed the program had significant increases in their levels of happiness, enthusiasm, resilience and optimism. They also showed significant decreases in their levels of depression, anxiety, insomnia, emotional eating and chronic pain.
