Mental Health Awareness

According to a study, about 46% of teenagers, 19% of adults, and 13% of children are afflicted by some mental illness. While it can trouble anyone, it is only half of those affected that receive treatment. People fail to address their mental health issues due to the stigma attached to them. When not treated, a mental illness can escalate and affect your performance at school or office, leads to higher medical expenses, and may even give rise to suicidal thoughts.

What is mental illness?

The brain’s physical fitness is disturbed where thinking, behavior, and emotions are in a disarray thus making it difficult for the individual to perform basic daily tasks. Causes can be rather complex including altered brain chemistry, brain structure modification due to trauma, or a recurring medical condition such as heart disease and genetics or heredity.

  • Meditation helps you focus and concentrate better while also improving self-esteem and self-awareness. Stress and anxiety levels are markedly lowered, and the practice automatically fosters kindness. Your physical health also improves as you possess an increased tolerance for pain and can fight substance addiction.
  • Stress Management Stress is, ideally, your nervous system automatically responding to the stressors that arise from predictable activities. It may be a meeting with your boss, family gatherings, commute to work, and others. Stress management is the procedure of changing either your reaction or the situation that you have to face. Choose any given scenario and adapt, or accept, avoid, or alter.
  • Psychotherapy is a treatment where a trained mental health professional explores your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and tries to improve your well-being after a thorough analysis. When paired with medication, psychotherapy can be extremely effective, and promote faster recovery. Some therapies associated with the practice are dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and others.
  • Medication An outright treatment that is targeted at the illness itself, certain medications help alleviate symptoms. When paired with psychotherapy, it can be extremely effective.
